[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you have an IEP at her school?  Our IEP allows DS to wear noise-blocking headphones during tests and assemblies.  He's not freaked out by sirens or hand dryers but if he's trying to concentrate, any noise will disturb him.  [/quote]

OP here.  She has an IEP for motor planning and gross motor (which is good because she has to hold a handrail or another person on stairs), but not for the noise blocking.  I literally just now got off the phone with the school health resource about the GI issues -- she will work with me on that.  So that's something.[/quote]

Once you have an IEP, regardless of the diagnosis/code that led you to get that IEP, you can ask for any services your child needs, regardless if they are related to that original diagnosis or not. So you don't need a ASD diagnosis or OHI "rider"; you just need to call an IEP meeting and request to add the services/accommodations that you need. It doesn't sound like you want anything unreasonable.

Since it seems like your child is starting a new school (kindergarten, right?) there should be an IEP meeting 30 days into the start of school anyway, but ask for one in writing just to be safe.[/quote]
