In her presentation at the 19th Annual CASE (Counsel for Administrators in Special Education), Julie Weatherly mentioned a case involving a student with ADHD. "Children having ADHD who graduate with no special education or any section 504 accommodations are commonplace." Just because a student has been diagnosed with ADHD does not mean the student qualifies for an individualized education plan. The student in this case completed required work and earned average or above average grades. Although the student was required to take remedial courses when beginning at the community college, this scenario is "neither unusual or evidence of 'unsuccessful transition', an entirely undefined term."Monday, January 12, 2009
