The Educator's Diagnostic Manual of Disabilities and Disorders (EDM)
This practical, easy-to-read resource includes guidelines, information, and examples for a variety of situations that commonly occur in education. The EDM is a must-have reference for all professionals working with exceptional children.
Up to now, the sole responsibility for interpreting the specific disabilities associated with the classifications under Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 was at the discretion of the district committee responsible for classification and placement. However, simple word definitions are open to interpretation and potentially significant subjectivity. Since many of the specific disorders contained under an IDEA category are not provided, there was a very strong need to objectify this process. The EDM provides specific descriptions of the areas of concern, as well as the levels to which the disability (or disabilities) adversely affects the academic performance of their child.
