[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound like you are on the right track with everything (I'm a mom that does medicate for ADHD, FWIW.)

I think you're lucky you've got the IEP to begin with. My child is off task about 90% of the time, according to the teacher, and yet the school refuses to give us an IEP because his academic performance on the things he does complete are within grade expectations, and therefore when he does not complete assignments or completes them poorly , it is because he "isn't trying."

And for the prior poster that asked about a trampoline -- I asked about then when he first started at the school, and they laughed out loud about what a ridiculous idea that was.  Their idea of a "movement break" is getting up to sharpen your pencil or get a book from the classroom reading corner.

Honestly, off task 50% off time sounds fabulous to me -- especially if a lot of that "off task" time is independent reading.  That means that she's with the classroom program about half of the time!  And reading the rest of the time!  Do you feel like she's struggling to learn the material?  Or that there are social repercussions to her not being on task?  If not, I guess I wouldn't worry that much if she needs to do her own thing for part of the day.[/quote]
