[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just saying that is not really the way they handle things as far as I can tell.  they are on top of it.

Mainly I am trying to tell OP she needs an FBA stat to try to dissipate the behaviors instead of going to a dedicated aide. See what I mean? Th only reason givin for the aid is running out the classroom. Let's try to addres that behavior![/quote]

Addressing the behavior is a great idea, but the child needs to be kept safe while that happens.  A dedicated aide can always be taken off the IEP if the strategies from the FBA work, but in the meantime it sounds like closer supervision is warranted.[/quote]

Typo-ish PP here, now on a computer. I think keeping the child safe is a great idea, obviously, but that can be accomplished without a dedicated aide, I think. The child could be in a classroom in with a low teacher-student ratio, for example. That also seems more likely to be accomplished in DCPS, imo. But she can fight for the dedicated aide if she wants -- don't mind me!

And anyway, mainly,  I just really want to [b]encourage OP to get the behavior addressed and I think that the FBA etc will help with that a lot.[/b] I mention it so strongly because it didn't seem to be on her radar screen.

As to my charter "not really doing aides", well I suppose I cannot say this for sure. I haven't seen this happen in our grade, and there IS a kid with this issue. But I don't know everyone! And I suppose the dedicated aide wouldn't be designated as such on the website or whatever -- more likely just listed as "aide" or "special ed teacher." I'm not sure how the other PP knows for sure that her charter [b]NEVER[/b] does this?

Also at my charter we were definitely not told that the next stop after a behavior plan would be private placement, unlike other charter PP. My child had significant behavioral issues and this was never mentioned at all. The reports (from the Public Charter School Board) show zero expulsions from my charter.

No idea on advocates, haven't used one. Charter has been quite cooperative with the IEP process. Would definitely get one in DCPS though. [/quote]

We've been at the charter for several yrs.  We are at an immersion language charter and yes, I know for a fact that no one at our charter has ever gotten a dedicated aide.

Definitely do the FBA!  It was pretty miraculous for us and got rid of all DS's problem behaviors.
