In 5th grade they changed his IEP category to include Speech or language impairment as well as OHI. He struggled with clear communication, getting out what he needed to say or write, abstract concepts.

I want to keep both, but they say he no longer qualifies for the OHI! He&#8217;s taking a medication that helps him focus and stay attentive, but it&#8217;s not perfect. So I feel frustrated that they want to remove the OHI category because now he takes meds. What can I do?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristie: My son has had an IEP for ADHD since the 3rd grade.
