I see that you've now posted in the Learning and Attention Difficulties Group, and I'm sure you'll get more assistance there! If you were looking for an additional forum (especially one that addresses ADHD medication issues) you could also join www.millermom.proboards107.com

If you're not sure, then she prrobably doesn't have the proper testing or a formal 504Plan and definitely not an IEP. Otherwise, there would be annual meetings (sometimes even more frequent) that take place with a team of teachers, the school psychologist, administrators, and yourself. It sounds like you need to request the formal comprehensive educational evaluation, and go from there.
Please, join and post in the other group, community.greatschools.net/groups/11554
