PP - If this is true, then  you want to fight an improper code because for one thing it could take a spot in  a specialized program for students who could benefit from specific targeted programming for an ASD.  Also it is trying fit children with differing strengths and needs into a convenient "centralized program" or set of services.  You probably need to decide what are the key elements that you want for DS and go for them, and a label of OHI should be a pretty flexible one to use.  However, you may find it worthwhile to get a private evaluation done to be sure that the related therapies are provided and accommodations provided which enable your child to demonstrate his knowledge without undue stress on him.  By this I mean if low tone makes handwriting difficult, then he should have access to teacher notes, to a scribe in testing, possibly a voice activated computer to do work.  There is also the quick assumption to see physical aspect of CP and equate with cognitive skills.  In any case, you will most likely need to supplement without side therapies and/or a tutor.

Wouldn't a kid like that benefit for OP?  If a child is that complex they may need the specialized setting.  If a child takes a spot, its because they need it or there is no other option.  Our county does not have a school set up specifically for kids with language disorders or reading disabilities.  It would be nice if there were specialized classrooms, but there aren't so kids are put where is convenient.  [/quote]

Once you separate a kid out of gen ed, it's like being "mommy tracked." No matter your abilities, you get a second class education.

Separate is not equal. [/quote]
