[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - have they done an FBA? If not ask for one asap. [/quote]

I have one in his IEP but at this point I want him out of the environment he’s currently in because I know it’s too unstructured and at this point I want to overcorrect.  I watched him with his private OT and she wouldn’t let him get away with anything and he just gives up and works with her.  I’m hoping that’s a sign for how this will work in the SDC. I can always ask for them to do the FBS (or have it transfer when we move to wherever we head next.  I accompanied hi. On a field trip where he ran around like a maniac.  The teacher said to take him home bc he was sensory overwhelmed (she felt). I told him we were going and he immediately got in control.  My optimistic theory is he has a LD and he copes via avoidance.  And it’s spiraled out of control.  [/quote]

No comments on schools but I'm chiming in to note that my DS with ADHD and ASD does this.  He has severe dyslexia and it manifested first as complete avoidance of reading.  In K they treated it as a behavioral issue before I went and had independent testing done to confirm he has dyslexia.  He's in 4th now and is working fabulously 1-on-1 with a tutor for all language arts but he still has huge problems at school with avoidance.
