Ever ok for school to videotape ASD meltdowns?

If you have a behaviorist who works with your kid or a psychiatrist, show it to that person too. They can use it for teaching purposes or "cireculate" without your permission and if they did you would easily win a huge lawsuit so no worries about that.

NP. Your view is ncredbly childish and shallow. Wow.

I think PP meant that in order for a video to be used for teaching purposes, the parent has to sign a permission form; if they don’t and the school uses the video for anything other than the agreed upon purpose, then OP could certainly sue. The school is very aware of this so there’s no reason to think they’d violate it.

Our school videotaped without our consent so at least they're asking. I agree with others that it doesn't really tell you anything to watch a kid melting down. They're melting down. They're in crisis. What helps is to know what led up to it.

What do you think you and your child will get out of this? If you don't look at the preceding events how is this worthwhile? I think it points to a teacher who does not know what they are doing.

You really think the reason your kid melts down is because the teacher has no idea what they’re doing?

Wow. I feel sorry for teachers who have to deal with parents like you.

There isn't much value in focusing on what is happening during the meltdown. The real issue is what preceded the meltdown. I feel sorry for children with disabilities who have teachers who understand very little about their needs.

NP. I regularly see teachers and administrative staff mid-handle discipline incidents making them worse than they needed to be. Many school systems and teachers use shaming, stern voices, negative commands and intrusive body language when disciplining both NT and Special ed kids.

One of the best things about our SN elementary was that they listened to us when it came to disciplining our child with a language disorder. In a regular school, teachers often demanded that DC explain on the spot why he did something, and when he couldn’t or said “I don’t know” they would continue to badger and berate him for being insubordinate. He is a kid who needs time alone to process things and settle his emotions. When teachers refuse to give him that and label him “bad” it’s no surprise that he melts down.

I have also witnessed many other similar situations with other students, and it’s even worse for students of color. they don’t call it the school to prison pipeline for nothing.

And what makes you think that ALL special ed teachers know who’s to handle kids? And know that they are doing. We have delays with our share of clueless ones in FCPS.

We have dealt not delays.
