[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine didn't talk until he was 4.  Combo of developmental delay and a tongue tie.  School system wanted to label him eligible under Autism even though Dev Ped. still adamantly says no, even after 5 years.

Once his language started catching up, a lot of the social emotional problems improved or resolved because he could understand what we wanted and also express how he was feeling.

Also, labels/diagnoses are not supposed to drive services.  Mine still did self contained enhanced autism until this year so he could get more intensive services.[/quote]

Different poster , but what do you mean that diagnoses aren't supposed to drive services? Isn't that exactly what they do?[/quote]

PP.  I see where I should have clarified that statement.  For school and the IEP, labels/diagnoses are not supposed to drive services.  Meaning, they look at education impacts and work out placement accordingly.  My DC needed a program focused on language, a low ratio and the ability work on social/emotional skills with help.  That is the Enhanced Autism classroom in FCPS.  I've had more than one Sped professional wish they named it something else because it's a bit misleading.  Now he's in the GenEd with supports and pull out for more intensive Reading/Writing.

For the medical side, yes, it's all about the billing codes and justifications for getting insurance to cover things.[/quote]
