[QUOTE="Martie, post: 79753, member: 284"] I agree with Sheila: a psychiatric diagnosis does not = an IDEA 2004 label. There are two different nosological systems. Send the certified letter and be sure to link behavioral problems to negative educational impact. Do NOT let them equate adequate progress with academic test scores alone. There is much more to education than at or above grade level test scores. Bright children tend to be denied services using this argument, and it is not OK. If this child is BiPolar (BP), then he is likely to need the legal protection an IEP provides, if not now, then when he is older. I would definitely write the letter now, and SEND IT CERTIFIED.
