Diane,

My son was diagnosed with ADHD at 12 yrs. of age. Being an advocate for him was the best thing we could have done in helping him to be successful in school. His IEP was an integral part of that process. He has been benefiting from the services of his RR teachers since the sixth grade. These services have proven extremely valuable to him. His IEP states that he may go to the RR for test-taking, re-teaching, or when he becomes over-whelmed or the classroom is just too noisy for him to concentrate. He is now 16 yrs. old, and still uses the RR when he feels that he needs to. That isn't too often, as he attends a vocational-technical school in the A.M., and is only at the high school for four pds. in the afternoon. I would strongly suggest that your son's IEP allows for services to be available to him should he need them. Best wishes for a successful second half of the year!

NANCY M.
