Hi, I wanted to make a statement on the IEP part of this issue.

Since he isn't having problems at school at present. There is a good chance
the school will not want to put one in place. But because of the medication
and the diagnosis's he has. THey can and should at least put a 504 plan
in place. This would level the playing field by putting some things in place
so that if he starts to have problems they can be addressed.

Both bipolar, or emotional issues, and ADHD can be addressed in either
a IEP or a 504 plan.
