Nan, yes, that is part of my concern. They are ready to jump through hoops to do what they can for her IF she has the diagnosis...but if not, well, they aren't sure if she'll qualify for any accomodations. And that is where the problem lies. She does need accomodation for her ADHD issues, but that no longer carries much weight if you child is not academically behind. ASD on the other hand, does. Those sound like wonderful accomodations. When talking to a lot of parents, the key is finding the strategies that work and that is what getting an appropriate diagnosis or label is helpful for. Thanks again for posting.
