[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 597908, member: 1550"] Confuzzled, that has not been my experience AT ALL. My experience has been that if your child has no diagnosis, he is considered "Emotionally Disturbed" and eventually ends up with those other undiagnosed children. Now there may be some very progressive schools that go by symptoms alone, but I did not see that AT ALL. I'm not saying that your school district won't do that, but I think most school districts prefer to have a diagnosis. In fact, many don't even want to make any sort of accommodations for our kids. I don't want to go into detail, but you can read about it every day on Special Education 101. It is often a real struggle to get your child any help even WITH a diagnosis. With "Other Health Impaired" which my son was in until his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis., we had to produce what that other health problem was that caused him to be "OHI." His doctor had to put something down, even though it wasn't the reason he needed extra help. I suggested a neuropsychologist. She doesn't need to go. It's up to the poster. But I certainly have to discourage her from simply using school testing. But, again, that's up to her as well. [/QUOTE]
