[QUOTE="buddy, post: 536058, member: 12886"] I may be misunderstanding the issue here, but I dont think that is the problem she is having. I totally agree that an FBA woudl be great and a bip if she was struggling, and you can and should have behavior GOALS too and if she is showing that as long as she gets these specialized services she is doing fine, the bip is not even needed. If I understand right????, I think this mom sounds like she would have been fine if they said they needed to do an FBA to add to information the IEP, either for a behavior goal or for a bip. But, it sounds like what they were trying to say was because there never was an FBA done in the past, along with the fact that since being in a special education setting she has "caught up" and does not seem delayed or in need of services, they are going to drop the IEP. No matter that mom still reports delays and she has never experienced success in a typical school setting. If that is what is going on, that is just goofy. Great idea contacting the behavior specialist to help out and I hope they will listen to you and keep the minimum number of goals needed in your state to maintain an IEP (can be things like in the general education setting, she will follow verbal directions/redirection with a criteria set, that she will increase her ability to demonstrate grade K skills including counting to X, identifying X number of basic shapes, being able to write her name...whatever your concerns are.....maybe a goal about peer interaction or using her words to request help or demonstrate frustration, et....I am sure you can think of a million things). It really seems unfair to cut her lose before getting her into a gen ed setting after needing to be pulled from one and be put in a spec. ed. setting. Of course she is doing well in that kind of setting, most kids do somewhat better. Put her in a big class witout the sensory integration support, or behavior supports that match her diagnosis...YIKES.
