[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OHI - other health impairment.
ED - emotional disability

Not knowing more about your son, these are two that might fit.  OHI is common where the traits are more ADHD like.  ED is used sometimes if it looks like anxiety like traits.  [/quote]

OP here.  That's the thing - this kid doesn't get anxious.  [/quote]

PP here.  Then ED wouldn't likely fit.  OHI is a very broad category and, as I and others mentioned, ADHD is often classified under OHI. [b] Unlike others, I don't get what the big deal is to have the classification changed[/b].  My son's classification changed twice before he was eight.  Initially it was DD. Then it was related to speech impairment.  The third and current classification is OHI.  The real issue is whether your child is getting the services, supports and accommodations to be successful and to effectively access the curriculum.

BTW, as an aside, "ability to access the curriculum" is the terminology that is used to justify my son's IEP.  He is working above grade level and getting all As and Bs, but he needs the services, supports and accommodations to be successful.  [/quote]

I agree.  Our school changed the designation from DD to Autism (DS has ASD) when DS was 6.  We are in DC.  For us, it was all a bookkeeping issue since nothing changed in his IEP which we are very happy with.[/quote]
