Was my undergraduate ed disrupted for a semester or more?

This question seems to be on most apps and I'm not sure how to answer. I did a study abroad program through CIEE (council on international education) my junior fall semester and it shows up on my undergrad transcript as Leave of Absence. I was technically going to school, it was just not a program through my school. Should I say yes or no to the question about my undergrad ed being disrupted for a semester or more? Do I need to write an addendum explaining?
I plan to have CIEE send my transcript to LSAC, but since CIEE is a study abroad facilitator, not an actual school I can't add it to the list of schools attended. On a slightly separate note, should I be putting the school I attended in the Dominican Republic on my study abroad program through CIEE on my list of schools attended? I know LSAC's line is that you shouldn't list it as an institution attended unless it was for more than a year, but I want to show that I wasn't just taking a semester off to do nothing. The transcript will be coming from CIEE, not from the institution I attended.
