Originally my son in pre-school had an IEP for speech & language delay. His delay is fine so we've moved from an IEP for speech & language to a 504 for his ADHD. He's now 12 and has not had a MFE (multi factored evaluation) re-evaluation in 4 years. I've asked (in writing) and been denied for 3 years now. He has accommodations but continues to struggle to remember to even bring a pencil to class. We burn through about 5/wk. His grades are C's and D's and his State achievement scores are just below state levels. I want him tested as I suspect some LD issues as I believe it's very common to have ADHD and LD, no? My view is how can we "treat" the problem of ADHD and possible LD if we haven't made an evaluation???? I know these evaluations in Ohio should be repeated every 3 years OR if a parent requests. I am continually denied in writing saying he has a lack of drive and motivation. (He also has depression) Any suggestions?
