[QUOTE="klmno, post: 379304, member: 3699"] They are that bad here. In this jurisdiction, if a kid doesn't need an IEP for a physical disability or cognitive problem, then it's automatically a behavior problem, no matter what they put on paper. I've had more than one sd CM tell me that an emotional meltdown that results in inability to do homework or results in an outbreak of tears is just indicative of a behavior problem. I specifically asked the last one if she didn't think becoming emotional or shutting down due to depression or anxiety was a mental health issue and she no, it was a behavior problem. I kind of understood why difficult child laid out of school and didn't bother trying at that point. (If they'd had me in first grade when I was still breaking out in tears out of the blue because my dad died, I guess I would have been kicked out of school for having such bad behavior.) They really ARE that ignorant. Mental health issue = behavior problem. Period. Of course usually what happens is that the kid really does start behaving worse and worse when being labeled that way and then it's almost impossible to ever reverse the attitude of the sd and the path for the kid.
