D is for Disability Eligibility - Why a Diagnosis Isn’t Always Enough for an IEP
A diagnosis like ADHD or autism doesn’t automatically mean your child qualifies for an IEP. In this episode, we break down the difference between medical diagnoses and school-based eligibility, walk through the 13 IDEA categories, and explain why educational impact matters most. If you’ve ever heard “your child doesn’t qualify” and felt confused, this episode will help.
