[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 620092, member: 7170"] Impulsive behavior... like being fine reading and when switch to math become aggressive or bolt from class / building? My child had bipolar and Asperger's and the mental health system kept prescribing medications for adHd, along with her bipolar medications the wrong medication combo caused most of her problems at school. Side effects (like tired when they bumped Seroquel up by 500mg) were what they punished her for most. I never understood how dragging her kicking & screaming to solitary confinement & putting her in there for 5 hours was proper punishment for nodding off in first hour? The school once they got into punishment mode repeatedly suspended her leading to transfer to a day treatment school that wasn't about treatment it was about punishment. Stabilizing Angel in a punishment setting was like trying to nail jello to a tree, it took 5 years to get her out of that setting and back into public school. 5 years and the only thing she learned was when they put you in solitary confinement cell smash your head on the wall because if split your head on their watch they will get into trouble. She missed critical years of social skills and education while being punished usually for medication side effects. Which brings up those other 2 social skill goals I couldn't remember last night were: Angel will utilize strategies to stay awake and upright in her chair 60% of the time Angel will focus on the task rather than her environment 60% of the time Those 5 social work goals weren't just to correct her issues, mostly it was so the district could demonstrate student needed social skills class & get authorization (staff & funding) to provide the ART (anger redirection training) booklet. The BIP they gave you sounds similar to the one Angel had, I use to refer to it as a cookie cutter wish list; it wasn't anything designed around my child or her needs just a one size fits all type of thing. will list other services/ accommodations - if any might help your child (for you to suggest) organization - use of planner on consistent basis, teacher needed to check that information in planner was correct every class every day. Adjusted workload / including but not limiting to assignments partially completed will be graded on the completed part and not penalize for missing work Example Math 10 problems completed of 100 with 8 correct would be 80% or a B (side note: teacher would highlight a sampling to make sure the skill was understood, couldn't just do the easy ones) Directions repeated and checked for understanding (she had to repeat back the direction, teacher was to determine if understood) Testing study sheet when applicable, teachers notes Testing in small group or class, extended time water bottle in class and unlimited bathroom (Lithium & GI issues) Grooming kit at school to use during prep time before 1st class Any extreme or curious behavioral changes call Mrs. XXXXX (me) at XXX_XXX_XXXX as soon as possible. That school had me sign a contract that I would drop everything and run when they called, I preferred being there because their way of managing Angel was abuse. I know a lot of these accommodations most districts won't go for but I (mom) had rep for being advocate from H### and I had enough of their seclusion paperwork to pretty much crucify them for violating the state seclusion & restraint mandates. It's to the point if could get a psychiatrist to put in writing they did emotional harm shoving her into cell (often for 5-6 hours) she would be sitting on a million dollar lawsuit. Unfortunately her psychiatrist's are paid by the same county as this school is. Anyway if any of those goals or accommodations would help your child suggest them, if there is a need they should provide it. If a problem is listed in the kids IEP they can't suspend for it except in violent/weapons situations, most manifestation determinations I've been to if school was implementing the IEP properly the kid wouldn't have been suspended. Take what you can use and dump the rest. Nancy [/QUOTE]
