[QUOTE="slsh, post: 36148, member: 8"] Sharon, I feel your frustration - OSS doesn't do a doggone thing other than give the teachers a break from difficult child, in my humble opinion. It's not punitive to a difficult child, and it certainly isn't going to promote change. Whenever thank you got an OSS, we actually had a manifestation determination mtg each and every time, and we also went over the BIP as well as placement in general (this was before he hit the 10-day mark). While I'm loathe to say *anything* positive about the state of sped in IL (tho' I think this perhaps was a district policy rather than statewide), this approach makes a whole lot more sense - why wait until you've hit the 10-day mark and *then* try and figure out if it's a manifestation of his disability. I know you're in the midst of IEP mtgs on difficult child. I think this OSS practice needs to be strongly addressed. It's not accomplishing anything practical for difficult child - he's not going to quit acting out because of the threat of OSS because he's acting out because he's an impulsive difficult child. It's part of the picture. If staff cannot handle his lashing out... perhaps placement needs to be looked at? I don't know what your options are in terms of placement but... OSS is just pointless for your kiddo, from where I'm sitting. I'd make one heck of an argument for the ISS to count towards the 10 days. Force their hand to provide better supports (like maybe that 1:1 they keep saying they "don't do" - blech). I'm really sorry you're going thru this. Impulsiveness is not something that can be dealt with- through disciplinary measures, as you well know, and as they *should* know. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
