[quote=Anonymous]ED (Emotional Disturbance) is a disability category under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act). It refers to behavioral health conditions (depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, ocd, and the like) that have an impact on learning. ADHD is more often designated as OHI ("Other Health Impairment'), but you will find ED (or MD/Multiple Disabilities) used as the category as well, given that ADHD so often travels in tandem with anxiety and/or depression. For IDEA, "impact" is not defined in relation to grade level; it means that the condition affects whether the student can access the education provided in the classroom. (In practice, though, different school systems and schools might bring up grade level issues, no matter what the law says.)[/quote]
