[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you who are suggesting the OP is trying to get away with not having her child receive any discipline should be ashamed of yourselves.  What responsible parent would want that for their child?  Why not extend the benefit of the doubt here and assume the question was asked in good faith?

OP, I would suggest a behavioralist approach.  I think your child may need an FBA (Functional Behavioral Analysis) to take a data-driven approach to what sets him off, what the various preceding events are, what the "punishment" is (because when the so-called punishment is actually a reward?  like, say, getting to go home? then it's not an effective punishment at all and only reinforces bad behavior.  Then the next step is a BIP (Behavior Improvement Plan).  This is to modify the escalation behaviors, and also the punishment/reward systems.  It should be done by someone who is trained in the field, not just anyone who is on staff.

The right behavioral analysis and supports can make an enormous difference for an impulsive child who hasn't mastered self-control (for his age level).

Good luck, OP.[/quote]

No one was "suggesting" that OP was trying to "get away" with anything.  [b]Are YOU extending the benefit of the doubt?[/b][/quote]

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am.

OTOH, did YOU read the thread?  No, obviously not, or you would have noticed people suggesting she was trying to find a way to let her child get away with bad behavior and avoid discipline.

Seriously, those of you who are so ignorant of Special Needs students and their families should just go away.  This used to be the only nice thread on DCUM, but clearly there are some bitter ignoramuses just anxious to poison this one as well.  You don't know anything and have nothing of value to contribute.  For heaven's sake just STFU.[/quote]
