Can I request a school IEP after getting an ADHD diagnosis as a teenager in Ontario?

A teenager in Ontario can ask the school to consider an Individual Education Plan after an ADHD diagnosis, but a diagnosis does not automatically create an IEP. Ontario's published IEP information describes the IEP as a school-board process for students who need special education programs or services, often after identification through the board's procedures. A physician or paediatrician letter can support that conversation; some boards also want psychoeducational data, which is a board practice rather than an OHIP rule. OHIP may have covered a medically necessary physician assessment; the IEP itself is education, not an insured health service. Coverage varies by province because special-education rules are provincial. Rules, coverage and referral pathways vary by province and can change; confirm the current position with the relevant institution or provincial program.
