[QUOTE="buddy, post: 498806, member: 12886"] you are sweet, I did not say that to show what I know and I only know any of it anyway because I am old. I have been part of this since long before Q but it sure didn't have the in depth interest or meaning until I lived it, bet all here can understand that. Especially all of us who have worked in the schools. You are sure right about OHI and before that when they are little daughter can be used. Once I got the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis though I was grateful and have still made that be his primary category because the teaching methods and materials are so much more specific to his learning style. In more general Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) classes, they have to be more generalized in their approaches. So, though he also is OHI (for the acquired brain injury and seizure disorder) and he has speech and language as a separate secondary category (it can be a stand alone or a related service, for him it is a stand alone secondary disability category)... I keep him in the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) primary category. Anyway in this case, I was just responding to that a push for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) /not otherwise specified would really just provide the district with information they can use in their own assessment and hope that they would use it. They DO know it gives us amo to fight them if they dont provide services! Plus, heck, if I didn't have to redo testing I always loved that, smile. [/QUOTE]
