[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was dx'ed with ADHD by Child Find at the age of 4 and we had fairly good services in the public school system for preschool. But as soon as he hit Kindergarten the school system decided (because we had been so proactive) that as he was not 2 years behind he did not qualify for an IEP - then once they pulled the IEP they started to label him a "behavior problem" for issues that were directly related to his ADHD and sensory issues - but as we no longer had an IEP we had no protections .... Public school quickly became a nightmare and we opted out for private and have never regretted it.[/quote] I'm so sorry you had this experience - it really pisses me off when I hear that a school is basing eligibily strictly on academics. A child does NOT have to be below grade level to qualify for an IEP. Your experience is one of the reasons we work with an educational consultant. We shouldn't have to - nor should you have had to go private.[/quote]
