[QUOTE="slsh, post: 589213, member: 8"] ICD - I'm going to disagree a tad bit. An ED versus Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) *classification* is an administrative thing, not one that drives the IEP. You still have a kid who needs support in A, B, C. Certainly how those needs are approached might be affected by a medical diagnosis (as opposed to administrative classification), but they are still needs. Sounds like it may be too early to worry about SD moving forkeeps' kid to a more restrictive placement (I'm assuming that's what you meant by "lumped with"?). And again, while my difficult child was always classified ED, at one point we looked at a private program designed primarily for autistic kids, at SD's suggestion and on their dime, because that kind of programming actually worked for him (sometimes). I actually like what the psychologist told forkeeps - to me it indicates a program that is focusing on the child and behaviors and strengths and weaknesses rather than on a cookie cutter approach based on classification or diagnosis.
