Does IDEA (IEP) cover ADD?
My brother has ADD (not ADHD, the two are legally considered two different things) and epilepsy, and he’s in 2nd grade and is testing at a kindergarten/early 1st grade level. My mom has been trying to get him on the IEP plan (he’s currently on the 504, but it isn’t enough) for the past 2 years, but he ‘doesn’t meet the criteria’ (by like 5 points). The only disability he’s listed under is epilepsy, but it might help to add ADD. I researched a little bit and the criteria lists ADHD for an IEP, but talks about /ADD in some of the extra descriptions. So does IEP cover ADD or not? #ADD #ADHD #iep #Section504 #SpecialEducators #SpecialEducation
