[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP.  Its so stressful.  I know you're in a holding pattern while they try and figure out what is triggering him at school and how to respond to it?

Do his meltdown happen at home too?

What is the plan once they get the FBA completed?  It sounds like he already has an IEP.  Are they using the FBA to determine placement?  It's been a few years since my son had is FBA so I don't remember what its for.

When your son gets aggressive at school, does the school call you or are they handling it?[/quote]

FBA leads to a BIP which includes ways to prevent the behaviors and to minimize them and handle them afterwards. Sometimes it is helpful to have a BIP plan that has failed in gen ed to support the child's need to move to a more supportive setting but I have never heard of it being necessary when everyone  - parents and school - agree the child is in crisis. 
OP you should ask for tours of the more supportive programs near you. The Asperger's program at diamond elementary I think may be one and there is also a social emotional program but I don't know where those are. They are sometimes reluctant to allow parents on these tours unless there's a referral from the current school so make sure you communicate to your school that you would be open to considering those programs and would like to do the tour ASAP. This way once the IEP meeting comes you are prepared to advocate for what you want. Both programs are set up a bit similarly but one may be a better fit than the other for your child so you really need to talk to the administrators for the programs.

I don't think MCPS would allow your child to go straight to private placement but you could also ask your educational consultant if she thinks that's an option in your case.
