removing the label would be mislabeling the students
 

by removing this labeling option and labeling DD students as MR, you would be mislabeling many students that are not MR, but simply - as the current label says- develomentally delayed.  I work with MR students, they are not the same as DD and DD students should not be treated as if they are.
