[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS (6th grade) has a 504 Plan and an IEP for ADHD (OHI) and he is doing well in the AAP Center school. We provided the psychologist's report (including WISC-IV testing) as parent supplemental information.

My DS did not have to sit through testing "for hours on end" (as described by PP 00:15) and his ADHD is "complicated" and requires accommodations.

I think each child is unique and a blanket "AAP and IEP don't mix" statement is erroneous.

You may wish to read about Twice Exceptional students.  There is one article on the FCPS AAP website and I am sure an internet search would reveal more resources.

I realize this is derailing the thread, but was your son earning poor grades prior to getting his IEP.  My daughter is ADHD also, but [b]the principal says that since she makes A's & B's she won't qualify for a 504 or IEP[/b].[/quote]

[b]This is incorrect.[/b]  Go to wrightslaw.com to bone up on the law. Excellent resource for how to request a 504 or IEP. [/quote]
