[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Ok, now I'm thoroughly confused.  I see on wright's law (and the federal statute) where it says that it doesn't matter if the child is on target academically.  BUT, I see in the DC code of regs that emotional disturbance is not a determining factor for eligibility?? Section 5-E3006

Am I missing something? Help![/quote]

I'm not really sure of your question, but maybe this will help.  A diagnosis (ED, OHI, whatever) alone is not enough.  There must be an impact on your child's ability to access the curriculum.  It doesn't mean your child must be failing.  But, there must be some basis, such as that your child could do better.  My son has an OHI classification for ADHD and some other conditions.  He also works above grade level.  Thing is that without services and accommodations, he could not do as well as he does.  That he needs the accommodations and services to perform has never been questioned (yes, I know I'm lucky).

Good luck OP.  [/quote]
