Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 Hi, Everyone....CK...so glad to hear that Ian is doing OK. Tell him 'Happy Birthday' from all of us. Brigid.....Gail can tell you about her experiences with BOCES...she's in Elmira. Where are you in Upstate NY? Personally, here in Pa., your child will get more benefits with the autism label. They qualify for TSS and Behav. therapist services outside of school....something that they review with the school district and it should be listed on those papers. It's the autism that affects your child's learning ability....more so than just DS/MR. It's the autism that causes behavioral issues in school due to speech problems, sensory issues (loud noises, fluoresces lights, etc), and learning. If she's autistic, then that's her major/primary diagnosis....whether it's for school or not. Just my two cents worth!!! Take care, Everyone. Margaret Quote
