The FBA should help.  I am the poster whose 2nd grader had similar issues last yr.  My child would kick and scratch the Sp Ed teacher whenever she grabbed him.  Mind you, DS never kicked or scratched (or anything else violent) to anyone else in his life but her... but no one had ever grabbed and held him like she did either.

I think before characterizing a child as "violent", you should get information on what is causing the behaviors.[/quote]

Same thing happened to a kid of a friend of mine. He suddenly did things like this and the parents were shocked as they hadn't seen this type of behavior before ever. It turned out the school was manhandling him by grabbing, carrying, pushing, etc. when he wasn't being cooperative. Thankfully they could afford to pull this child out and put him in private in the middle of the year and lo and behold, none of these behaviors followed. The kid had severe sensory issues and it turned out he was terrified of the school staff.[/quote]

What do these stories have to do with OP?  She's already related that her DS kicked a staff member when he received news he didn't like.  You think this news was physically communicated?  He behaved violently when accidently bumped by another student.   :roll:

There's this one time, at band camp......[/quote]

I think it has to do with context and identifying context.

Some kids will be reactive in almost any environment.  Others are reacting to specific triggers that once removed, clears up the issues.[/quote]
