[quote=Anonymous]I think that not disciplining the kids with special needs is an urban legend.  In many schools, those kids are the first to be suspended for behaviors that are due to their disability (e.g. melting down and refusing to transition to another class.) Check the data.

I have quite a few teacher friends who share that there is often taunting/ teasing/ subtle shade-throwing happening from the typical kids towards the kids with special needs that can trigger issues.  The kids with special needs may have a shorter fuse or be less able to engage in verbal retaliation, so they kick, hit etc like younger kids.  So in these cases, although the child with special needs did engage in the most visible behavior, it was in response to non-physical aggression. And it is the teacher/ administrator's discretion how to proceed in those cases.

For these situations as a parent I would be asking a lot of questions about the supervision of all of the kids and what the situation was that led to the violence.  If it is during transition times, like walking down the halls, this is prime time for picking on kids without a lot of oversight. I would also be asking for a plan to prevent that situation from occurring again.[/quote]
