[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP, in a similar but opposite situation. School is saying absolutely no IEP for behavior because the child is on grade level. Is a danger to himself and others, daily classroom disruptions, doesn't do any work in the classroom. Admin says 504 is the best they can do. Any thoughts or advice?[/quote]

You need testing to show if there is a disability. You can write administration and state that you are requesting an IEP meeting to discuss a suspected disability. You then need to convince them that the suspected disability is impacting his education (an advocate can be a great resource at this meeting).[/quote]

Child has multiple diagnoses but until this year has been on grade level. School won't do testing because there is no impediment to accessing the curriculum. I feel like the child is stuck in a bureaucratic black hole. I can't figure out a path out. [/quote]

Are the behaviors related to the multiple diagnoses?  How has he been demonstrating that he is accessing the curriculum?[/quote]

Unsure how curriculum has been accessed in the past. Behaviors have apparently escalated this school year.

An FBA was brought up but it was unclear whether the school will do one. Is that the best path forward? I've never seen this much resistance to an IEP or anything that would actually be helpful. [/quote]
