[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He went through the whole IEP process because of concerns from his teacher and ourselves and the school put him under the Educational Disability of Aspergers. We don't have, and don't need, an educational diagnosis for the IEP[/quote]

If you are in FCPS, I think you are confused. There is no "educational disability of Aspergers." There is an educational disability of Autism. It is not a medical diagnosis of autism. The screening committee found your child eligible for services through the Autism disability based on observations, rating scales and testing conducted by the school. Please go back a re-read the paper called "Basis for Committee Decision."

If you do have a medical diagnosis of autism from the pediatrician, you can bring that paperwork in and the committee could also find your child eligible for services through the autism disability.

To re-cap, the school does not "diagnose" any child with autism. Only medical doctors diagnose autism. The school can test and find the child eligible for services through the autism disability. Or the parent can provide the medical diagnosis of autism as documentation that their child is eligible for services.[/quote]
