[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s unusual to have an SLI eligibility for social communication only when a child has a medical diagnosis of Autism because ASD eligibility would better describe the qualifying condition and the SLI eligibility criteria include certifying that the deficit is NOT due to another disability. That said, the child likely doesn’t meet the restricted/repetitive patterns of behavior or sensory criteria for an ASD eligibility but the school team still feels he needs support. The good news is that eligibility doesn’t drive services, so he will get the necessary services, accommodations and modifications regardless.

The only concern I would have is that not having an ASD eligibility may impact his future eligibility for adult services.[/quote]

I don’t believe SLI requires absence of another disability, unless it varies by state. My son has CP but his IEP is for SLI.

Also- the sped category is separate from a medical dx. You can have autism and not qualify for an IEP, or you can have something other than autism but qualify educationally under that category [/quote]
