[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 84668, member: 1991"] I would ring your state board of education and ask them if someone there can define the terms for you, and what the implications of those definitions are, in terms of an IEP. The strict medical definition is often a different thing, education boards can have their own definitions in order to get all their Special Education paperwork on the same even keel. But I would make sure it's not a 'softer' term which they could then subsequently use to wriggle out of responsibility. Whatever WE tell you the two terms mean, or even a medical or education expert, may not be what your state board of education has defined those terms to mean. Marg [/QUOTE]
