[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newbie here - so honest question. Why wouldn't you want the ASD or other label in the IEP? Because they have not been diagnosed by an outside agency? Because of a sigma it may cause in future educational opportunities? It seems the children would get more services with a label applied by the school. Why would the school apply a label that was not accurate such as ASD or ADHD? [/quote] Because in some states, an ASD label comes with more money, programming and services. Institutions do what is easiest and most expedient for them, not what's best for the child. My child had 4 evaluations saying he was not autistic, but instead language delayed and learning disabled. In our case, the ASD label was desired by the IEP team so they could move our child out of a mainstream class into a segregated environment, because that's what was easiest for them. [/quote]
