[quote=Anonymous]Some kids with I/DD or autism smear poop. The only thing a psych hospital does is Medicate the individual until they are stable, then discharge them. That does nothing towards addressing the behavior, whether it is poop smearing or aggression. If a kid with I/DD or autism is displaying maladaptive behaviors that the teacher can’t control, an IEP meeting needs to be held to decide if more supports (1:1 aide?) are needed or whether the behavior plan need to be revised, or whether a school change or program change is needed. (PS: psychiatric beds for adolescents with I/DD in Maryland are insufficient so the child/parents may end up waiting for days (I have known families who waited 5 days) in an emergency room bay waiting for a psych bed.
