Hi All,
my difficult child 2 is 17 and a jr. in high school. She is classified spec. ed. because she is "emotionally disturbed." She has a dissociative disorder and it creates problems with her schoolwork. Last spring she was removed from school for the last couple months of the year and received tutoring and that worked pretty well. In the Fall she went back to school for half days and had tutoring for the classes she was not there for. In late January she started attending school fulltime again and it became too overwhelming and frustrating for her so she has now just gone back to half days.
I received a notice that the school would like to do a functional behavior assessment and was wondering what it is and what it means--figured you guys would know. I have not been told she has any behavior problems at school but maybe that is not what this is all about.
Thanks for your help,
Jane
