[QUOTE="wincha, post: 5985, member: 137"] "I'm sorry to say I am not on board with you on this one. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is an emotional problem, it is in the DSM as such and as far as ADHD being a medical disorder, that was a political decision that came out of OSEP and doesn't make ADHD "really" any more of a medical condition than major depression is" WHY? When I read information such as this below? Bipolar disorder is clearly a disability, as defined by OHI, that demonstrates having limited strength, vitality, or alertness, including a heightened alertness to environmental stimuli, that result in limited alertness with respect to the educational environment. When IDEA now states that the list is not exhaustive of examples of OHI and bipolar is not mentioned because it is well know it is a health impairment since it is an organic brain disorder. Isn't Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) also? \ Also my daughter is having difficulty staying on task, completing assignments, she is being docked for her inability to complete some writing assignments, she at times is bothered by other kids noises, or she taps, and she says when she has to write she feels very tired and is unable to write. Bipolar is also under DSM and it is being addressed under the OHI section(comments) of IDEA [/QUOTE]
