[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One pp mentions if he hadn’t caught up by 5, that the diagnosis of global developmental delay would go away and be replaced by intellectual disability. Is that true for MCPS IEP? [/quote] No. That is not how it works. My kid had a GDD and has not caught up at 12. But his IQ is 82, so he’s not going to be diagnosed with an ID. You can’t just go based on generalizations. An ID diagnosis is obviously individual and specific. That poster is likely speaking from her own experience based on what doctors have indicated based on how her specific child is presenting. If a GDD is severe, and the kid is testing in ID range at 5, than, yes. There’s no automatic imposition of an ID diagnosis though and nor should there be. There have to be adaptive impacts also.
