[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think being overweight should be considered a "special need".[/quote]

It most certainly can.  "Special Needs" refers to anyone who require assistance for medical, mental, or pyschological disabilities.  OP's DD certainly fits that criteria, as does my DH who has diabetes and requires a special diet and certain food at certain times of the day.  So does the kid with anxorexia or bulemia or who binges.  "Special needs" covers a broad range of disabilities, not all of them visible.[/quote]

Is my kid special needs then because he sees an allergist?  [/quote]

if your child had a life-threatening allergy and needed advice on dealing with a classroom situation, yes, I would suggest you post in the SN section.

I realize you are being snarky but PP is just trying to be inclusive.  if your child's allergy presents problems and you need advice, I don't see any problem with posting in the SN section.  if you are just going to post that your child has a cold or something, then you are being an asshole.  The line between the two is not difficult to see.[/quote]
