[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have the numbers at my fingertips but I thought I saw something once that showed numbers of students with IEPs for some states with the disability category. Very few with OHI/ADHD but lots of 504s.[/quote]

Yeah, like I said hard sell:

So pro tip to parents contemplating getting an iep--include the ADOS in your testing.[/quote]

Even if they get an ADOS, and its not autism, someone like you will always scream ASD.  It could be anything including a mental health issue.  Depression generally looks very different in kids and is often diagnosed as something else and kids often exhibit behavioral issue.  Child needs a full work up, which it sounds like there was and the conclusion was ADHD.  So, instead of pushing for more expensive evaluations, the ADHD needs to be addressed and a behavioral plan, including looking at if it is a good classroom/teacher fit.[/quote]
