[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure non-SN parents know that there's been a trend in the last few years of school systems completely bucking special education law when it comes to severe children. Violent children are supposed to be put in a self-contained setting or with 1-to-1 adult supervision in the mainstream classroom. A behavior specialist is supposed to then collect detailed data on the triggers for the behaviors and then convene a meeting to create a plan to extinguish the behaviors. If none of this works, the school system is required to take the tax money distributed to it for that pupil and use it to send the child to an intensive private or residential placement designed for children with these needs.

School systems have figured out that it's a lot cheaper and easier to ignore all of the above, and wait for a parent to sue them for services. This hurts all children. There's this weird warped mindset on this board that parents somehow condone this occuring in classrooms, when the exact opposite has literally been written into law. [/quote]

+100. My kid was aggressive enough to cause problems but not aggressive enough for anyone to actually provide services. [/quote]
