[QUOTE="Martie, post: 5514, member: 284"] IF a child has a qualifiable disability and there is a negative educational impact, the SAME services should be available on an individual basis regardless of label. Services are delivered to children not categories. That said, many parents feel the ED label is stimatizing or that it means their child will be sent to an alternative school. I can not tell people how to feel but my child was labeled ED because it never occurred to me that he was anything else (in other words, I did not make the case that major depression is a MEDICAL disorder that affected his health--even though he tool prescription medications for it and he therefore was "health impaired." I guess you can make that argument, but whichever way it comes out, the services should be individualized under an IEP. What is ILLEGAL and may happen is they will say he can have an IEP under ED but a 504 under OHI. Since the difference between them has to do with the requirement for there to be sufficient negative educational impact to qualify for an IEP, the above would make no sense. There is either negative educational impact or not--period. I hope your wraparound specialist knows the law. Martie [/QUOTE]
