[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the recommendations for an FBA - which is very different than the run-of-the-mill behavioral/incentive charts they have for all the kids.  We're in FCPS and it was done by the special education teacher in coordination with a system behavioralist.  They did an excellent job.  We knew anxiety was at the root of the outbursts but couldn't identify specific triggers.  But, the school team developed a plan that was very effective.  They didn't eliminate all the behaviors but they were less intense and less frequent.

During this period, some on the school IEP team pushed for an ED label.  We resisted because the behavior was new (DS was in 3rd grade and it started after winter break) and we believed it was more related to a bad fit with a gen ed teacher.  He wasn't the kind of teacher that should have had kids with LDs/anxiety.  DS hasn't had behavioral issues in school since - at least they're on a 'typical' level.

BTW - I'm sure you're an excellent mom.  This isn't your fault.[/quote]
