[QUOTE="klmno, post: 240911, member: 3699"] Based on my experience and very limited knowledge- the classification is not supposed to make any difference as far as accommodations and it's better to have an ED classification than no IEP at all, usually. But, in some jurisdictions the accommodations accessible to a child will vary dependent upon the label. Plus, in some sd's, having an ED label means they will be with the kids labeled as behavior problems if grouped in collaborative classes (classes with aids). That has happened here. on the other hand, I have heard that in some sd's, the ED label allows more accommodations in needed areas. So, I can only suggest reading carefully thru things you can find online- like the definition of ED for your local sd- not IDEA. See if it elaborates and makes it sound like ED kids are behavior problems- this is what I found on my sd's site. It's wrong, but I don't feel like fighting it. I just requested that my son's classification get changed. We'll see how that turns out. If your referring to your child that has adhd, that should be an OHI classification. If there are other issues she has and it works in your favor, you could ask for a multiple classification (OHI and ED). [/QUOTE]
