Your son may need what is called a 504 plan or IEP. This covers disabilities and Special Education. Wrightslaw.com has excellent information on how to get the school to help your son. He is covered under the ADA law and IDEA Law. Write a letter to the school requesting that he be evaluated for an IEP(special education) and 504 plan. They have to respond and review the situation within two weeks. This will put him on their radar and he will get accommodations to start with. Document everything. The schools have limited funding and are set up to deny anything that costs money. You have to prove your case. It is a fight and can get ugly if you let it. We had the exact same situation with our son last year in third grade as well. He is in the Gifted program with ADD and that is still unfathomable to the school. Most conditions have varying degrees of severity but, they would not deny a blind child books in braille. ADD is cover under Federal law as Other Health Impairments. Good Luck.
