[quote=Anonymous]I think part of the difference in perspectives amounts to what the IEP is for. My kid has a speech therapy IEP; it’s great because it’s free services that we’d otherwise pay for and many are specifically targeted to the classroom setting. He’s widely recognized as very advanced academically & well behaved, so I would never worry that his IEP would make people think otherwise. So speech (articulation issues) and physical therapy are basically one bucket. Specific academic issues like dyslexia are now, I hope, another bucket that no one associated with being a “bad” kid. Behavior IEPs, on the other hand, can absolutely be helpful — even crucial — to a kid’s success, but yes, they can absolutely be stigmatizing if widely known and definitely cause teachers to treat the kid differently.[/quote]
