Personally, I would rather use "diferente" instead the term "diferenciado", it's easier to understand by our target audience. However, the Department of Education uses "diferenciado", so I have to stick with the way they translate the word. I always include a short explanation in parenthesis so parents will understand.

Thank you for your help!
diferenciado = discriminating

Use it.
