[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 90335, member: 23"] What do you mean by this? EI vs OHI is a long-standing debate. See [I]The IDEA Classification Debate: ED "Emotionally Disturbed" or OHI "Otherwise Health Impaired"[/I] at [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20080104010438/http://www.bridges4kids.org/articles/4-04/CABF3-20-04.html[/url] Technically, the eligibility category should not limit or expand the services a child needs. A child's IEP should be designed to meet the student's unique needs regardless of the classification as Learning Disability (LD), ED, OHI, etc. Any type requests for testing should be put in writing and sent via Certified Mail. Even without the Learning Disability (LD) classification, if your child needs supports and services in specific subjects, his IEP should address the issues. The only problem I have with this is without appropriate testing to identify the problem, "treating" an Learning Disability (LD) is just a wild guess. Always keep in mind that as a part of the IEP team (parent), you can call an IEP meeting at any time. So, for instance, something like accommodations for reading can be put into place now and when the testing is completed, another IEP meeting can be held to more specifically address the problem(s). by the way, welcome to the site.
