POHI is physical and other health impaired. To evaluate DS for the "physically impaired" category they had to have one of these teachers on his eval. team. Of course, our district doesn't have such a teacher because they don't write these kinds of IEPs or give services, so in the rare instances when they need to (for instance when crazy parents like me make demands), they contract out for the services.

They completely messed up even evaluating the "other health impaired" category (for ADHD). For instance they were supposed to have a spec. ed teacher observe her, do a full achievement test, etc. and they didn't. So even if they had wanted to qualify her, there would have been no way for them to check off the boxes for the state.
