The AuDHD IEP Handbook: The Complete Parent's Guide to 163 IEP Goals, 78 Accommodations, and Advocacy Scripts for Children with Autism and ADHD

The AuDHD IEP HandbookThe Complete Parent's Guide to 163 IEP Goals, 78 Accommodations, and Advocacy Scripts for Children with Autism and ADHDIEP Resource Built for the Autism-ADHD BrainYour child's autism wants routine. Their ADHD craves novelty. Their IEP was written for one diagnosis, not both. That is why it is not working. Children with co-occurring autism and ADHD do not need two separate sets of goals fighting each other across the same school day. They need one unified plan that treats the paradox itself as the design constraint. This book provides that plan.163 Ready-to-Use IEP Goals Across Six DomainsEvery goal in this book is written using a Both/And methodology that addresses autism and ADHD simultaneously. Goals span executive function, social communication, emotional regulation, sensory and self-regulation, academics, and adaptive life skills. Each goal includes baseline measurement language, progress monitoring criteria, and modification notes for different ages and severity levels. Select the goals that match your child's specific AuDHD profile and bring them to the IEP meeting as proposed language.78 Conflict-Screened Accommodations and 27 Advocacy ScriptsStandard accommodation lists often include supports that help one diagnosis while undermining the other. Every accommodation in this book has been screened through a dual-diagnosis compatibility framework so nothing in the IEP works against itself. The advocacy script library provides exact wording with legal citations that trigger the school district's procedural obligations under IDEA, Section 504, and the ADA. Scripts cover initial evaluations, IEP meeting disputes, accommodation non-compliance, and formal dispute resolution.A Complete System from Evaluation Through AdulthoodThis handbook walks through the full arc of AuDHD education, starting with how standard evaluations miss the dual diagnosis, moving through goal writing and accommodation planning, and continuing through early intervention, elementary, middle school, high school, and post-secondary transitions. Specialized chapters address BIPOC AuDHD students, gender and AuDHD, twice-exceptional learners, and co-occurring conditions including anxiety, OCD, and learning disabilities.Reproducible Tools You Can Use TomorrowThe appendices include a one-page AuDHD Profile Summary, pre-meeting checklists, meeting notes templates, communication logs, accommodation tracking worksheets, goal progress trackers, an annual review preparation timeline, eight quick-reference accommodation cards for teachers and staff, a 45-term glossary, a federal and state resource directory, and a fully annotated sample IEP demonstrating every strategy in the book applied to a single student.This is the IEP handbook that parents of AuDHD children have been searching for. It does not treat autism and ADHD as separate problems to manage. It treats them as one interconnected brain that deserves one coherent plan. Read more
