[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 619472, member: 3930"] Did you have your meeting with the Special Education Superintendent to go over sending him home? I would seriously send them a letter asking them to perform a functional behavior assessment and develop a new positive behavior plan and until then for them to stop the punitive measures and stop sending him home as that is only reinforcing the behavior --since he doesn't want to be there (he misbehaves, he goes home, he wins). Did they initially do an FBA when they came up with his existing behavior plan? If so, what did they find? From what I understand most of these professionals will come up with the child is misbehaving to either gain or avoid something. That's not always the case. He could be lacking skills needed in order to behave in an adaptive way. Take a look the Lives in the Balance website, based on Ross Greene's theory[COLOR=#0000ff] "Kids do well if they [B]can[/B]".[/COLOR] Read the part "When are challenging kids challenging?": [url]http://www.livesinthebalance.org/sites/default/files/One%20Page%20Overview%2011-12-12.pdf[/url] [url]http://www.livesinthebalance.org/[/url] [/QUOTE]
