[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just looked up “pace west”—it’s part of the “independence non traditional school”? The article about independence (if it’s accurate) about it sounds amazing. You won’t find anything better than that at the local private special ed schools. Have they brought in a behavioral specialist to amend his BIP (if he has one)?[/quote]

Independence non-traditional school is what used to be Pace East / Independence Hill before the new buildings and rebranding.  Pace West is a sister school in Gainesville/Haymarket.  Both are schools for kids with ED and related special education needs so all students have an IEP and, I would guess, most have BIPs, including my son.  On paper, it does sound really good with the small class sizes, integrated services, etc.  It's really frustrating that we've reached this point where DS is having escalating outbursts.  He goes weeks where everything is perfect and then something happens.

At a meeting last week I did bring up redoing an FBA and BIP and got some pushback.  I understand that when DS's school counselor talked to his therapist and the therapist brought it up, they didn't seem to want to budge (but I got this 2nd hand from DH).
