[quote=Anonymous]My 2nd grader has been having a lot of behavior issues in school this year.  Including getting easily frustrated, ripping up other students work when that student told him he was coloring his paper incorrectly, having tantrums when singled out by the teacher, leaving class without permission, etc.  His school has sensory rooms which he's been going to at the beginning of the day for around 10 minutes, and he's going to OT once a week outside of school.  He has also started seeing a psychologist outside of school.

The school counselor called me today and wants to do a Functional Behavior Assessment next week with the "team"; school psychologist, math teacher, school counselor, homeroom teacher, assistant principal.   He said that I was welcome to attend as well, which I will.  I'm wondering if I should have any other type of advocate attend as well?  My son currently does not have a diagnosis, IEP, or 504 plan but will be getting testing done at Mt. Washington in two weeks.  I'm wondering if it would make sense to hold off on an FBA and BIP until the testing is done and we have a better idea of what is going on, or to go ahead now.

The school counselor also wants to put him in a social skills group and have one on ones with him about managing his temper.  He had an outburst (ran into the hallway and had a tantrum) today after being brought back from the sensory room when his teacher told him that he would have to read a chapter in a book the class read while he was gone (while they were having free play time), he has issues being singled out in front of his peers.  He's doing well academically in school, reading above grade level and in enriched math getting straight A's.

I'm wondering who the best person to bring with me to these types of meetings would be.
