[QUOTE="slsh, post: 154906, member: 8"] IEP - Individualized Education Plan. You aren't going to get anywhere with most schools if you just "ask" for help. You need to send a certified letter requesting a full multidisciplinary evaluation to determine if he requires special education services. Sped services can be an aide, or speech/occupational/physical therapy, psychological services, etc. A good place to start would be in the Special Education 101 archives of the board to familiarize yourself. I believe they also have some great sample letters to request an evaluation. If they've called in a behavior specialist, sounds like they're doing a functional behavioral analysis (FBA) - what *should* come of this is a behavior intervention plan (BIP). This is actually good - just kinda lousy they waited so long. Some schools refuse evaluations because students aren't "failing" but IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act - I think) clearly states that if a student has behaviors that interfere with their ability to receive a free and appropriate education (FAPE), then they do qualify for Special Education services. All this is said assuming you're in the US - it's different in other countries. ;) Please do check out the sped 101 archives and post over in that forum - Martie and Sheila are truly outstanding sources of information.
