[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: benefits is a poor choice of words. Yes, they are services but some non IEP parents seem to consider them benefits!

neuro typical - when you've seen psychiatrists or neuropsychologists, they use this term and thats were we learned it. [b]It means normal children.[/b]

I'm not trying to pick a fight. I just learned that some parents get very annoyed with children who are in AAP and have IEP's. But they don't seem to get as annoyed with children who aren't in AAP but have IEP's. I wondered why. I can't ask them directly without really picking a fight so I thought an anonymous forum is a better place to get the answer.

And the issue requiring the IEP is inattentiveness.[/quote]

Then let's just use that phrase. We're not psychiatrists or neuropsychologists, so to pepper conversations about SN kids with phrases like "neuro typical" is just ... not normal. In fact, it feels like a contortion.[/quote]

Yeah OP, I think you're being a bit obnoxious.  "twice exceptional" and "neuro-typical"?  Maybe the problem is the other parents just don't like you.  [/quote]

Not the OP but 'neuro-typical' really doesn't mean 'normal'.  It means the child doesn't have neurological conditions - ADHD, ASD, etc are neurological conditions.  There are lots of other ways of being weird or bitchy but still be neurotypical.  You don't have to be a psychiatrist, neuropsychologist or developmental pediatrician to use it.  Just because you don't know what it means, lots of other people do.  Same thing with 'twice exceptional'.  It's not like it's a compliment.  Calling the OP obnoxious is uncalled for.  [/quote]
