[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 114819, member: 3493"] Thanks, she had her meeting today and I am waiting for her update. My own son is classified OHI but is treated as if he is Aspergers. There is a difference in the services offered to some degree as autism services are more intensive, but my son does not have the autism label. However, he attends a school geared for Aspies, where he is one of the highest functioning. I believe he is the only 17 year old at the school to actually have a driver's license. My friend's son is much more affected than my own. Her son has been in and out of self-contained since K; mine only went to a sped HS for Aspies in grade 10 because I insisted. Before that, he was completely mainstreamed in every subject. I just can't figure out why her son isn't getting the same treatment mine did - the only thing I can think of is that MY son was put in his plan BEFORE the recent changes in the law. [/QUOTE]
