[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school is trying to push DC-1st grade into special education.  DC is very bright, two grades ahead in some subjects and above grade level in all the rest.  DC has some non violent behavioral issues.  I'm not even sure what services they would try to push because obviously the issues are not affecting ability to access the curriculum.  I dont think special education designation should be applied for kids who simply have behavior problems.  I think a common behavior plan is all the informal accomodation needed.  I could post in the special need forum but most there really want the iep.  We dont.  What do u think?

So if my kid flips desks everyday but can read, write and solve problems above grade level, you're saying that my kid doesn't need special education services? Or if my kid cries uncontrollably in the fetal position when she doesn't get her way, but again, she's able to read, write and solve problems above grade level, that my child doesn't need special education services?

Really?

I would question whether your child is able to access the curriculum without accommodations and supports. Does your child require frequent reminders? Or removal from class in order to get work done? The specialized instruction your child might require would be to engage in the general education curriculum without those supports and accommodations.

What exactly is your kid doing? What do you mean by "behavior problems?" [/quote]
