Another IEP question

I haven't posted in a while, but I check this board often.  My older DD was diagnosed by an OT with SPD last August, and we (finally!) got a diagnosis from a developmental pedi a couple of weeks ago--ADHD inattentive-type.  DD1 is currently in half-day pre-k 5 days/week, and she's doing really well.  I had her evaluated through the school system at the beginning of pre-k, and they found "no educational disability."  

My question is what does this new diagnosis mean for kindy (the ADHD)?  If I request a child study, and again they find no educational disability, does that mean we don't need/qualify for an IEP?  We have been working really hard on DD's fine motor deficits and tactile issues, and the dev. pedi gave us some suggestions for behavioral strategies for the inattentiveness (which I communicated to the special education director at the elementary school).

I'm just not really sure what my next steps are as her advocate.  Thanks in advance for any advice/insight!
