[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. I suspect the school is pushing the ASD diagnosis in order to get him an IEP. He didn't meet eligibility last year (prior to 504 diagnosis) and still wouldn't based on grades.[/quote] OP, I don't think you are interpreting them correctly. For the IEP, he needs to have a diagnosis and he already has one. The specifics of the diagnosis might help people understand child better or might encourage them to look at different interventions but his access to special education would not change because he already qualifies under OHI with the ADHD.[/quote] Or, it could be at her child's school they have a very formulaic approach (which is wrong, but happens) in which kids with OHI/ADHD get 504s and accommodations; kids with Autism get social skills training etc. [/quote] When all kinds of kids often need both, but many schools will only give you one way to get needed services.[/quote]
