So Platypus - am I right in thinking that given we already have an IEP with both gifted and DCD diagnosis listed on it, that all we need is a formal recommendation for AT from the psychologist (as well as whatever other accommodations they suggest).
There shouldn't really be a need to list ADHD or dysgraphia unless we want to?
Yes, in terms of getting the AT, the letter should be all you need (just make sure it uses the right wording for your board). In terms of adding other diagnoses, they are probably not necessary at this time, as long as the accommodations provided for the first two are adequate to cover all his needs.
Speaking from experience, though, as he moves towards middle school you may want his challenges more specifically diagnosed and documented, so that you can ensure appropriate supports are added as time goes on. Come grade 6, we found DS's (undocumented) ADHD suddenly shifted from being a source of frustration to his teachers, to being a source of his losing a whole lot of marks.
