[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am conflicted. A "friend" is a teacher at an elementary school. A 1st grader who she suspects is undiagnosed ASD was upset and hit her, twice. He got a one week suspension.[b] I asked her how he could get a 1 week suspension with an IEP, since IEPs have built in protections for behaviors stemming from the students disability. [/b]She said teachers aren't suggesting or advising the child's parents to get an IEP, because then they know they would have to do more work for that student. Plus they are trying to get the student expelled since it wasn't his first incident.

I was aghast at the callousness and lack of professionalism by what she admitted to.

It made me realize our SN kids are sooo dependent on US to help protect them by becoming thei advocates, educating ourselves about their rights, and not blindly trusting schools.

Parents, google Wrights Law and learn everything you can about laws protecting SN kids in schools.[/quote]

You are confused. A student with an IEP can be suspended for a week (5 days). It is when the child with an IEP reaches the 10th day of an out of school suspension that a "manifestation determination review" must be held to see if the suspension is due to the child's disability. [/quote]
