No diagnosis by itself is a qualifier for an IEP. Qualifying for an IEP depends on the level of impairment and the need for special educational services. Many people with ADHD qualify for IEPs (and don't forget that instruction at an intellectually appropriate challenge level and pace can be written into the IEP as an ADHD accommodation because novel, high interest, and low repetition materials reduce the demands on executive function and stimulate attention.), and most that don't qualify for IEPs do qualify for 504 plans.
