[quote=Anonymous]18:57 here. Once you have an IEP, the team (you and other people from the school) will determine the appropriate placement for your dd. Typically, the default is your local school and if that is not appropriate, there needs to be a reason why. You may want to try to keep her in the regular classroom if your local school has good special Ed supports. If they will provide her with ST, OT and behavior support at her local school through her IEP, that may be best. Only you will be able to determine that and you don’t need to decide now. We always evaluated on a year by year basis. What she needs now may not be what she needs in a year. For us, the diagnosis wasn’t as important as treating the underlying issues with whatever therapy our dc needed (psychologist for anxiety, speech, pt, OT). But the diagnosis may help you get services at school. But we found that in the early years we always had to supplement with private therapy - which in the DC area is rarely covered by insurance.
