[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 237310, member: 3493"] My 14 year old was originally classified as speech delayed, was changed to OHI in 1st grade and was then changed to ED in grade 3 so we could get him a 1:1 aide, which they would not provide with a classification of OHI. In grade 6, we added Learning Disability (LD) with a disorder of written expression. His ED diagnosis is school based anxiety disorder. He is in grade 9 now and still classified. He goes to resource room once a week and counseling once a week. He has not had an aide since elementary school ended. He is in honors math and science, is running A+ in history and doing fairly well overall with 2 exceptions. He's on the chess and robotics teams and is the happiest he has ever been in school. He is up for his three year evaluation and there is no way in hell I will give up his ED classification. He is doing great in very difficult high level academic classes, but almost failed Health because he is so private and anxiety prone that he refuses to discuss or write about personal matters. I was able to use his classification to convince his teacher that he should be given an alternative means of assessment. If I didn't have him as ED, he would be failing a very easy simple class because of his issues. He would also have been kicked off his teams because our district doesn't let you do extra-curriculars if you get even one grade below C. Even with a just above failing grade in foreign language, they are exempting him from that rule because the activities keep him calm and motivate him. There are distinct benefits to having an ED that OHI doesn't give you. [/QUOTE]
