[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think your child sounds appropriate for an ED program.  He has disruptive behavior, not an emotional disability.

Your child needs a functional behavior analysis (FAB) to help the school come up with better strategies for dealing with his behavior that are more suited to his particular situation and the anxiety that drives it. Ask the school to perform one.[/quote]

Anxiety as the primary diagnosis is an emotional disability and that is probably the IEP code (unless the child is still under DD). If the behaviors related to the anxiety are such that the OP is getting a lot of calls and the school does not have the support needed to help the child, an ED placement might be the best outcome for both the child and the parent that is always getting called.

OP- are you being asked to come into the school or are they just calling you to let you know about the behaviors? What do the disruptive behaviors look like and how long does an issue last before your child is able to return to work?[/quote]
