[QUOTE="klmno, post: 197031, member: 3699"] My sd tells me differently- Now, I think Sheila is correct, however, the sd's position leaves me having to either fight to prove this, or accept what they are willing to offer. The difference it makes in difficult child's case is that having an IEP with an ED classification means that he's on the IEP because his behavior effects learning, so they only want to deal with behavior issues in his iep. If he had the OHI class., they would be more open to looking at other accommodations and would have to take the focus off this just being behavior management. I'm not saying this is the way it is supposed to be, just that this is what I'm dealing with at difficult child's school. I have been told that here anyway, a kid with ED is automatically viewed as a behavior issue by teachers and a kid with OHI might be viewed as having serious issues that may never be helped (ie- the kid can get pushed aside academicly). I know that isn't the intent of the law, but how can you change all those pre-conceived ideas? difficult child's 3 year evaluation is coming due in a few months. Since he didn't have the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis when he was first put on an IEP and classified as ED, I'm going to push for the OHI class. change. I've brought this up to them a few times during the past year (since getting the diagnosis)- they don't want to change it. My gut tells me if they were accommodating the kids as needed, regardless of the class., they wouldn't cared if the class. changed or not. [/QUOTE]
