yes, we had issues like that, except my DD8, doesn't have a diagnosis of ADHD (or anything other than gifted as far as I know). I didn't know what was going on, but I tried to get an IEP for TWO YEARS.

We are doing independent study now...

I think, at least in our state, you need to make the assesment evaluation in writing and they have, I think 60 days to respond. Schools don't like IEPs...they HAVE to do the stuff they agree to and you have the right to refuse the plan if it's not acceptable.

I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...
