| Abstract: | Discusses the enforcement activity of federal agencies and legal rights of children with attention deficit disorder (ADD) to receive appropriate special education services. Federal agencies that enforce special education laws have found that children with ADD are eligible for special education services and are protected by the elaborate procedural safeguards established by law. Many school districts do not have procedures to identify children with ADD and to ensure appropriate services and procedural protections. A case example and a model policy are presented.
