[QUOTE="buddy, post: 573318, member: 12886"] Oh man! I wrote my response out and lost the whole thing on my phone. I am going to try again, hope I dont forget something.... I'd advocate for him to be under the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) category. I have seen many kids without a medical diagnosis be placed under that category, so even if Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified or not a diagnosis he could have that label. The reason I say this is that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is established to often need related services such as Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and you do not have to qualify separately for each service. SLD (specific learning disorder) is not necessarily associated with those and while he is young it is easier to get Occupational Therapist (OT) but much harder when they get older so to have the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) will help you in that case with both. Also, even though the gap is widening, on the academic testing that is needed for SLD there are few items for a child his age and it is easy to look within normal means (as you have had happen before) and it could still be that way, plus if I remember, there has to be a gap between ability and achievement that is met, so it is not age based necessarily. (or grade based).... BUT with the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) category, any related issue including academic issues can be addressed. This will likely vary over his life so it would be great to have it be an option and not have to have him qualify for SLD every few years (kids generally do not NOT qualify for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) once they are in sp ed....but sometimes SLD they do end up doing well and then have to re-enter later. IF he does qualify now or later for SLD he can have it listed as a secondary disability category. But keep Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) as the primary. I think you can also use Other Health Impaired to work on the Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)....(again as a secondary disability category). Regardless of whether he qualifies for SLD, he can receive full support for his academic challenges and the accommodations that are common for Autism will be much easier to obtain if he is under Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Just my humble, (but have seen kids and families struggle) opinion.... What does your gut say, you always can sway me because you are very good with how you see things in relation to your little guy.....smile. [/QUOTE]
