Review your child's current IEP or 504 Plan.
Just as our kids with attention deficit disorder (ADHD) master new skills and face new challenges each year, the accommodations they receive from school will need to grow with them.
As you evaluate your child’s services, consider which goals have been met and which areas remain trouble spots. Then, schedule a team meeting before the start of the school year.
Bring copies of all educational assessments, report cards, notes from the teacher, even individual tests and homework assignments — anything that will illustrate your child’s current achievement levels. Discuss the strategies that worked last year and the accommodations and goals you’ll focus on this year.
