| Now I am really confused.....you had it after dx and at the time he had speech and OT through the school? If so, then that explains the IEP. Now if he is not getting speech and OT and has it just for his diabetes then your school is completely off somehow....or at least I think so. Your son should have a reevaluation every 3 years to determine eligibiliy if this has not been done since dx and they are using the diabetes to write an IEP that is so wrong....as you know the IEP is an Individual Education Plan for mostly educational needs. Medical needs are covered under a 504. I just know that in middle school it is hard for kids in generally.....what a growing time for them BUT I do know to that none of them want to go to high school with special ed labels. Now if they are writing an IEP becauses he is gifted then that is another story. We don't write them for gifted students. Good luck to you.
