[QUOTE="buddy, post: 560705, member: 12886"] To answer your question....in my humble opinion most pressing is : 1. Get a really strong legal advocate. He is being deprived of fape and has illegally been removed /suspended too many times 2. Write and send by registered mail, a formal request for an independent functional behavior analysis. Since the school has run out of options and their level of expertise is not enough an outside evaluator needs to come in at the district's expense. They can present a list of.choices but by law really cant demand only that list....they can only set a requirement on the type of professional (so people don't pick some alternative healer or some silly thing...usually a psychologist who specializes in behavior.) And.they can set limits on cost which must be reasonable to what anyone would pay privately (so, if they do this come here for any questions.....the ed.advocate should be pushing this) I.agree that the aspergers diagnosis is.probably trumping the other issues (with those others symptoms being common to that diagnosis) and my personal opinion based on experience personally and professionally is that kids on the autism spectrum do not do well in classes for kids with emotionally disorders as a primary diagnosis. The methods for behavior management rarely include the sensory accommodations often needed and the kids have a neurologically based view that is generally about what works for them. Traditional behavior plans for.ed.students do not usually include research based , effective autism strategies like social stories, visual supports, rigid schedules, and specific.autism teaching strategies. It works better for an autism specialist to work with these kids. Consider another setting which specializes in autism....maybe a level 4 setting at least until he can develop skills to be back in general education. On the home front .... Get a private neuropsychology evaluation and an occupational therapy evaluation and a speech.lang evaluation (esp looking for processing and social language issues that may be too subtle to pick up on without testing....these kids cover up using behavior without even knowing why It makes sense that any child would appear manipulative and become more so when the adults are not able to develop a positive plan which identifies what skills he is needing to develop in order to stay there. These parents should get their pick of options because this program seems to.violate the law all over the place. Read the book Lost in Schools (may be slightly different title ) by Ross Greene based on the explosive child model. It.helps outline a strategy for working on issues like these. Keep us updated. As you can see we truly care [/QUOTE]
