there are kids who are behavioral problem kids (my favorite "disorder" is oppositional defiant disorder...tell me a teenager that doesn't have this one)
however
EBD is also for kids like my son
he was tested through the ringer...he wasn't doing his work, crying a lot, quiet all that stuff
they thought he would test positive for ADD...in fact they were sure
but
he instead tested off the charts academically (like into 9th and 10th grade classes) but he also needs to turn his work in or he gets Fs
so
his IEP allows him to leave the classroom when he gets frustrated and feels like he might cry (since he gets teased pretty badly) he also takes some extra classes in order to learn how his body responds to stress.
his IEP allows him to test away from other kids so he doesn't get caught up in who is finishing first
it was hard work to get him the IEP probably cost me my job but he is way worth it
what is her IEP for if it isn't for ADHD...they would probably just add that part onto her IEP not make it 504 since 504 is for temporary stuff
