My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD does this require an IEP? Who decides?

ADHD does not necessarily require an IEP. It only requires an IEP if it impairs her ability to engage fully in her education.

More commonly used for ADHD is a 504 plan. These are accommodations that do not require special services. This can be something simple like extended time on tests, extra time to complete long assignments, extra help with organizational skills and help staying on task.
