[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like it's really weird not to tell your kid about something on their IEP. At some point they will read it, no?

If you don't agree with the Dx, then just say that have a Dx is something useful to have to get specific therapies, etc.

I used to "be against labels", but without labels you don't get your speech therapist, your OT, your qualification for small group learning at school, etc etc. [/quote]

op - it's not on his iep for 2 reasons; 1. he doesn't have an iep because he's in private so they just make accommodations for whatever is the challenge rather than the dx but 2. the school were so adamant that the dx was not accurate that they weren't comfortable with 'setting it in stone' and told us we should wait a few years and get a second neuro (which we will likely do). In the meantime they had us do a psychiatric eval (precursor to adhd medication) which just found adhd. 
to be clear we've had many many professionals question the dx. plus my own doubts - it's NOT a slam dunk to just share something when so many have questioned it. [/quote]
