[QUOTE="Janna, post: 233133, member: 2737"] Schools are just no fun. First, does he have an IEP? An FBA (Functional Behavior Assessment)? Are they following it/them? There has to be a REASON why your son is doing what he is doing. And, honestly, ok, maybe he's hypersexual because he's Bipolar. But your son needs to learn it's not OK. It doesn't matter that he's Bipolar, that doesn't mean he can go around grabbing peoples crotches. So, he needs to have a consistent consequence, whether that be home or school, when this happens. It should be written in the FBA. Someone needs to get to the root of the issue. And, why isn't the one on one aide dealing with this? Honestly, if this was my kid, I'd be all over the aide, the principal and the school district. The aide should be working on 1) WHAT led up to this incident, 2) WHY it is occuring continuously and 3) having the consequence in effect for when it does happen (and, obviously, suspension/detention is NOT working, so "we" need to put a plan into place that DOES work). I'd try contacting the Supervisor or Director of Special Education for your School District first. Detailing all the incidents (start writing everything down) and seeing how you (always say "what can WE do...") can resolve the situation. Maybe it's just a matter of sitting down with the aide, or calling an IEP meeting, or getting an Advocate to help you. If your son does not have an FBA, I would suggest sending a request, in writing, immediately to the school and having this done. You can search FBA's on the internet and find sample letters (I think they have some at Wright's Law). Good luck to ya. [/QUOTE]
