[quote=Anonymous]My DS was 7, in second grade, when his school told us his behavior was unmanageable and that he may do better at a private SN school.  DS was running out of the classroom, trying to run out of the school building, etc. and would kick, punch and scratch his SN teacher when she tried to stop him.  Having meltdowns where DS refused to stay in the classroom and would sit out in the hallway, etc.  DS has had an IEP since prek and a diagnosis for ASD so he could not be suspended but the school thought another placement could better meet his needs.  Prior to 2nd grade, he was doing really well without behavioral issues.  Academically, DS was ahead of grade level in all subjects.

We had DS scheduled for a neuropsych which found ADHD, combine type, and he was medicated.  The school did a FBA/BIP and his Sp Ed teacher was replaced - it was found that she actually triggered his behaviors by her reactions.  She had no prior experience as a Sp Ed teacher and this was her first year being one.  Also, I filed a state complaint that DS's IEP was not being met which encouraged the school to figure out what was going on with DS. All DS misbehaviors disappeared within a week of the medication, FBA/BIP, and getting a new Sp Ed teacher in place.

This was in 2nd grade, DS is now in 5th without ever having behavioral issues again.

Good luck, OP![/quote]
