Reading Fluency is a series of very simple sentences which the child reads and marks them true or false. There is a time limit of 3 minutes. Your daughter was able to do this task very quickly, probably because the reading level is about 2nd to 3rd grade. On the other reading portions of the test, she was average for her age, because she was working on more difficult tasks that became harder and harder. The new IDEA law requires a lot of remediation before a child can be certified with a learning disability. However, with a diagnosis of ADHD there is still the need to prove that the child is struggling with grade level material. The fact that your daughter had trouble with Honors classes doesn't mean she needs Special Education. She would also have to struggle with regular level classes given any modifications you are getting from the 504 plan. Document all tutoring sessions, grades, and be sure she turns in all her assignments on time. If she is still struggling, you would have a good argument for OHI. But do you really want her in Special Education? She can get accommodations in college without having an IEP. My daughter just had a medical diagnosis and they offered her a lot of support, early scheduling, proof read papers and critique them, counseling, etc. The important thing is to teacher her to be conscientious and to work hard.
