[QUOTE="minkymom, post: 12446, member: 766"] I just looked more closely at the paperwork my husband had brought home. I should have checked it better, but I guess I keep trusting what the school is telling me is the truth. Now I need to find out if it is the truth or not. I can't come up with a clear answer as to what diagnosis is covered under IEP's or 504 plans. My son's summary from the report written by the school psychologist says that his cognitive ability was assessed within the average to high average range. The emotional condition was assessed using the MACI, the BASC-2 and the Sentence Completion Form and inverviews with various people. It says that his "dominant presentation appears to be one of oppositional behavior (social maladjustment)." "Oppositional behavior and social maladjustment are explicity excluded from the qualifying criteria for Emotional Disturbance as defined by SEL." It goes on to explain what the characteristics of Emotional disturbance. The letter from his psychiatrist that we provided to them, has his diagnosis as: ADHD;ODD;Bipolar Affective Disorder (BPDII);Anxiety disorder (I don't see much of this.) Now, my question is, are they pigeon holing him into a classification so they don't have to do anything? It just so happens that he has behaviors that are "explicity excluded." I mean the bottom line is I have an intelligent kid that has something going on. His MD says possible/probable Borderline (BPD). He has behavior problems at school, disruptive and talking out in class frequently. What are they going to do, keep sending him home when he doesn't behave? How is he going to get educated. My hope is some day that he will finally get his act together somewhat, but what happens in the mean time? [/QUOTE]
