[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 567864, member: 1169"] This is a mix of accurate and inaccurate information. 1. The school is not required to test a child suspected of a disability. They are required to consider a request from a parent or teacher that a child be evaluated but they can decline to do so. They must decline in writing with their reasons for not feeling that the child is a child with a disability as defined by IDEA. Section 504 has nothing to do with testing. It has to do with non-discrimination and reasonable accomodations. 2. The school is required to provide a Free Appropriate Public Education in the Least Restrictive Environment for a child identified with a disability that has a negative impact on their education. The services for each child are spelled out in their IEP. 3. Your school is absolutely, 100% correct that they should not be testing for ADHD. That is a medical diagnosis that must come from your child's doctor. Once the child has been diagnosed, you can take that information to the school and they can evaluate and determine if thenADHD is having a negative impact on her education. [/QUOTE]
