[QUOTE="buddy, post: 469719, member: 12886"] Well, in our last school district we already did that and back then it was found everything was a manifestation of his disabiity. Now it is years later but no one, not even the admin has ever said anything but "we know that this is all because of his brain injury"...etc. In fact this same admin has said in bus meetings that the bus driver and aide just have to deal with the issues because this is who he is and this is his disabiity. Luckily our psychiatrist was there for all of those meetings. No one has ever, except some of the ed. aides. and a couple of bus drivers--and they just didn't have the information-- felt that he was doing any of this on purpose. Of course, I know he can do some naughty things like any kid but these things that get him in trouble over and over and he is so clearly trying not to do them and is so upset about it, those things he is not doing on purpose for sure. I think people here just need to accept that he is doing the best he can do and our job is to help him grow to his potential not to hide him away so he doesn't embarass anyone or whatever. I get he is hard and I appreciate what they do for him, now get on with it. If we need to go to a manifestation determination I would welcome it. I already have had a psychiatrist, neurologist and pediatrician along iwth the psychologist who comes to the meeting all say they would testify on behalf of difficult child. No problem in that area. And then maybe the question of punishment versus teaching/appropriate consequences and interventions will be the main thing they think of too. Unfortunately with brain injured people a huge difference is that often you just have to try to avoid triggers their whole life. It is what it is, we will try to help him grow, there are still years of brain development left and hopefully what is left in there is not too damaged. I have prayed over that many times.
