[QUOTE="Martie, post: 92640, member: 284"] VMI and visual perception are presumed to underwrite problems with reading, writing, handwriting, etc. I think they are looking for LDs which are common among difficult child's with ADHD. Emotional disturbance is the IDEA category that fits a high percentage of difficult children on this board (including mine when he was one.) The label or labels do not matter because the services are driven by the needs of the child. Nevertheless, it is true that some people think the ED is stigmatizing and Learning Disability (LD) isn't. I personally do not feel that way because of all the qualifying disabilities, ED is the one that can be "cured" (along with health impairments if temporary.) A correctly diagnosis'd Learning Disability (LD) especially if it is severe, is a life-long disability. That does not mean that people with significant LDs can't live productive, happy lives. For me, however, the permanence of severe Learning Disability (LD) problems makes it difficult for me to see it as a "preferable" disability to have. Whatever the label the I in IEP stands for "individual." Martie [/QUOTE]
