[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctors diagnose and schools identify (label). Labels can open the door to additional services. [b]Certain labels get the school more funding for service providers (special educators, SLPs, etc.). [/b]Your child's IEP goals should be based on their individual needs and not necessarily depend on the label[/quote] The bolded has been said here a lot, but I've never seen evidence of it. In DCPS, at least, funding is by number of service hours, regardless of disability code.[/quote] Doctors don't give the labels, they give diagnoses. Schools determine the labels. Sometimes they follow professional recommendations but legally they don't have to. Look at where SN funding goes by state or nationally. More kids are affected from dyslexia than autism, but there isn't money spent on evidence based interventions for dyslexia. How the money is spent is inequitable and unchecked. [/quote]
