[QUOTE="Martie, post: 162947, member: 284"] Sara, If students graduate "with their class" mainstreamed or not, they should get a regular diploma. If a student "ages out" at 22 working on IEP goals of self care, for example, usually an IEP diploma is granted. It is fairly harmless in my opinion because the students who receive them are usually so obviously severely disabled that no one would expect grade level performance from them anyway. Disability activists for those with severe disabilities would not agree with me that this is harmless, however. I think the question originally came up becasue NY state has a history of differentiated h.s. diplomas that have meaning for gen ed students. Most states do not do this, so it would not be an issue.
