[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PPs that it's really not about the diagnosis but what the child needs. A diagnosis doesn't automatically get you anything. The child can qualify for services if he is impacted in two different areas - in the case of my DS, it's LD and OHI (both related to the ADHD). But, the related services he receives are based on the speech/OT evals and the number of pull out instructional hours are based on his what the IEP team estimated were required to get him up to at least grade level. THe also could have qualified for services under developmental delays but two years ago (I think it was two years), VA changed the law regarding the maximum age a child could be considered developmentally delayed for educational purposes. It used to be 9 years of age and now it is 6. If you go with the developmental delay diagnosis, by the time your DC hits third grade, it will not make him eligible for services. [/quote]
