[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 605100, member: 7170"] I agree with what TeDo said and will add often change of placement can be avoided with a good IEP and a BIP that are followed by the teachers working with the kid. In Angel's case she should not have been sent to the emotionally impaired school but should have been admitted to a psychiatric hospital or residential facility until they straightened out her medications. A psychiatrist in a residential anger management program had taken her off 30 mg Abilify cold turkey, then discharged her 3 days before school started. Instead of taking her to the lake I should have admitted her to the psychiatric hospital but had no idea how far mentally she was gone, she just seemed sad about wasting her summer. I didn't mean to sound like I condone a kid getting physical with a teacher is OK, teachers and other students deserve to be safe. I think when a kid is getting aggressive at school the people on the IEP team need to try to figure out what the problem is & correct it rather then continue to "cookie cutter" do these IEP's and wedge kids into programs that don't address their needs. After all doesn't the I stand for individual? Nancy [/QUOTE]
