[quote=Anonymous]Would a behavior plan that is positively incentivized be in order? My ODD DC really struggled starting in 1st grade. As you said, adults thought that they should have 'grown out of it'. I get it, I wished they would have also, but when you're talking about a developmental issue it just doesn't work that way. I know the meeting sounded super judgmental, and I'm sorry for the pain it caused you and your DH. Adults can take things so personally instead of stepping back and asking themselves why a child is frustrated or abrupt or whatever.

As a couple people have described, the IEP team should be using more educationally and developmentally appropriate descriptors to help. Probe them for areas of social/behaviors areas that they would like to address with both adults and peers. Build that into a behavior plan with expected outcomes or goals. Ask for their assistance building a PBIS model:  https://www.pbis.org/.  Schools know these types of interventions. If school cannot provide the prize (either daily or weekly), then you can at home. If the school resists, ask them to involve a district behaviorist on the IEP team.

Hang in there![/quote]
