[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ED programs are not supposed to include ADHD or ASD by clinical definition unless there is a comorbid disorder according to what I learned. Those are neuro-developmental disorders where yes, you can have anxiety, but it is not the same. I don't have time to look through my own notes, but from what I recall things like ASD knock out ED and actually too often kids with ASD are mistakenly labelled ED. Even kids with anxiety disorders don't get labelled ED unless it is really severe.[/quote] It is against the law to use a child's label to drive placement. If the structures and supports in a program labeled "ED" are the right choice for a child who has an ADHD or ASD diagnosis, then that's where they should get placed. [/quote] Wrong. They should be in an autism/Asperger's or non-cat class. They are not ED, even if it's more convenient or cheaper to place those students in ED classrooms.[/quote]
