[QUOTE="Martie, post: 166617, member: 284"] I am really late on this one, but I read the thread. no where did I see that social and emotional growth is also part of "education." It is actually good that yur difficult child has F's because this is really strong evidence of "negative educational impact." She needs that and a listed disability to "qualify." I would say she is EBD but there are those who favor OHI because bipolar has a biologic base. Intentionality is not part of disability. If that were the case, then all disabled kids would not be served, i.e., the argument would be : if a blind child were only more "motivated" to see, or use what he or she has, then there would be no problem. We don't suggest deaf children should try harder to hear. "Our" kids have real disorders; they are not brats, undisciplined, or willful. They are ill, and most kids on this board should qualify for Special Education. I have been there done that with a student with above average intelligence and above average to below average grades who was Special Education qualified as SED from 6th grade on. He never set foot in a special class because Special Education is a service not a place. NOW that his emotional problems are under control, he is able to show he is both bright and free of learning disabilities. When he was depressed, however, he could not perform. Martie [/QUOTE]
