[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone,
My child (1st grade) is currently going through the IEP testing process due to behavioral problems at school.  The problem that has arose is that since testing has begun he's been sent to the office almost every day, suspended from school, and more recently had a teacher discipline him inappropriately  (was told by principal who is "disciplining" her).  I am not happy, to say the least, with how the administration has handled disciplining him.  We all know that when he gets in trouble he has a hard time calming down and instead of safely removing him from the classroom, keeping him calm, and then talking about what happened they seem to immediately escalate the issue which then results in more extreme behaviors.

I know from others that the school does not have a strong Special Ed program.  I am wondering if after all the testing is done, his IEP is in place, we finish the diagnosis with the behavioral pediatrician, etc, etc that he would benefit from a school with a Stronger Special Ed program in our area.  How hard is it to advocate for this?  I have at least three incidents that document that they just do not have his or others best interests at heart.[/quote]
