[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To qualify for special education, you must have a disability. So call your child's ADHD and HFA whatever you wish, but if you want the school system or your insurance company to provide you services, they are going to use the label. [/quote] To qualify for special education, the student has to have a disability that is severe enough. Having a diagnosis of HFA or dysgraphia, or dyslexia is not enough.[/quote] It's not that it has to be "severe" -- it's that it has to require special education to access the curriculum. The definition of "disability" is fairly objective and an HFA diagnosis would meet it. The question is whether the child needs special education to learn. [/quote] That is what I meant when I said severe [i]enough[/i].[/quote]
