[QUOTE="Christy, post: 296752, member: 225"] Good point about the iep coding. A behavior problem is seen as something that can be corrected, yet if the behaviors stem from mental illness this is not the case. Yes, steps can be taken to help the internally and externally manage the behaviors but a teacher is more likely to personalize things and cast blame when seen as a behavior problem than if he/she realized the student suffered from a mental illness. I guess the finality of the term is why it took so long to realize that my son was mentally ill. I kept thinking he'd get better. Yes he can get better but he will continue to struggle with mental illness. I have my blood sugars under control and I don't suffer any side effects of diabetes yet I know that I am still diabetic. It will always be there like my son's mental illness. [/QUOTE]
