Why do you think ADHD is being mentioned when you don't see it? I would fight against putting a diagnosis on an IEP that you don't agree with.
To clarify, we see the ADHD at home but the teachers at school don't see it. It's like he's able to control himself at school but falls apart at home. I am 90% sure it is ADHD; my husband is doubtful. It's all very confusing. I'm thinking we want to do the Neuropsych eval but the appointment is several months out so right now I'm moving forward with the ADHD to see if that helps and maybe gives us some peace.
And, like I said, I'm not sure that I'm even going to share this with the school yet. I just wanted to be ready with some ideas if I need to bring it up with them. I think he might need help with organization (I'm doing a lot of it) and maybe some reduced assignments like copying vocabulary words from a paper to individual index cards. Last time he had to do this, it took him over three hours to copy about 20 words, identify their part of speech, and write a synonym and antonym. The idea is for them to use them as flash cards to study but he never touches them once they're turned in for a grade.
Make sense?
