[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your seven year old kicked a teacher. That's all the information you need. I honestly wish they would remove any (neurotypical) kid who gets physical with a teacher  from the school permanently. Special placement in a class for behavior disorders. Or find a private.[/quote]

OP here:  As I stated he is getting evaluated for a variety of executive functioning issues that the school is well aware of, including triggers. He has been in OT for sensory issues so I'm unsure he's the "neurotypical" child you're referring to.   [/quote]

OP ignore that PP.  Behaviors are the "third rail" around here, even on the SN forum.

I would address this very proactively with the school, and express that you think a 4 day suspension when there are likely special needs is not acceptable, and that you expect them to do the FBA and come up with behavioral interventions for this para ASAP.  I would also get a private child psychologist on board and INSIST that they be allowed to come to the school to do an observation and provide recommendations for behavioral interventions for this para, and this should happen in January, NOT wait for the IEP.  If they're going to take such dramatic action as suspending him, they need to allow your child psychologist to have access to the school in order to start working towards solutions.  If they offer that MCPS staff can do the same thing in January, that would be OK too. What's NOT ok is letting this situation slide without immediate attention in January.  No waiting for the assessments and IEP meeting, which could take several months.  [/quote]
