[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 535469, member: 11791"] School cannot ever give a diagnosis - other than perhaps of a learning disability, that being more their area of expertise. The diagnosis has to come from the medical community. But... we've found schools to be very "bucket" oriented. As in, groups of services tend to go with certain labels. If your child needs A, C, and X, then your child must "be" a diagnosis of ZZZ. In reality, the combo of services could come from a wide range of dxes, and/or a mix of dxes. But, you seem to agree that he needs the services being offered. In that case, don't fight the school label directly, but do make sure that the IEP etc. are clear that this is an "educational label for the purposes of providing services, as no medical diagnosis exists", or something like that. And then... go pursue your own medical testing etc. and get the "real" answers. Or at least as close as you can at this point in time, because often it takes multiple rounds to get the complete or accurate diagnosis(es). [/QUOTE]
