[QUOTE="pajamas, post: 503326, member: 13499"] This is just me, but I'd probably like to see Autism as the primary exceptionality because everybody understands it's a lifelong disability that you are born with (regardless of how late it's diagnosed). You'll run into a lot of folks (esp. general ed teachers) who think EBD could have been prevented/cured by better parenting. in my humble opinion, there's a risk of no longer qualifying for services under the EBD designation if the interventions are working so well that her behavior improves dramatically, and then you're up a creek. I've also been advised in the past to avoid EBD if possible due to the potential for unintended consequences in adulthood when HS records are taken into account (think government service). I've personally had an easier time getting services under the Autism label for Holden, compared to EBD for CeCe. We recently add "Other Health Impaired" as a secondary covering CeCe's bipolar diagnosis. Our psychiatrist wrote it up as a chronic health issue that interfered with education to ensure she qualified for intermittent hospital/homebound services. [/QUOTE]
