[QUOTE="buddy, post: 508916, member: 12886"] OH HECK NO.... THE IEP TEAM decides if the behaviors are a manifestation of his disability. Also must decide if it is because his IEP is inadequate or not being fully followed. The IEP TEAM decides on change of placement. Administration will say they have to follow zero tolerance and school district policy and all kinds of BS but there should be a case manager and special education director or coordinator for his IEP... LOOK at the names on it... call the Special Education director and tell them right now that administration is not following "due process" and they are threatening to deny him "least restrictive environment" without doing any functional behavioral assessment and revising the IEP/BIP The manifestation thing... not so much an evaluation as a review.... It is just the full IEP group looking at the behaviors and incidents, combined with all evaluation/assessment info, anecdotal information, medical information, etc.... and saying.... is this something that can be caused by his disability? (DUH YES but if they try to say no then you appeal) You need to start a journal.... please write date/time/who and what the communication was.... every time they tell you something like this make sure they tell you. Sounds like they are doing the typical bully thing, not giving you full information so you will not even realize you have options. OK if they are in the middle of a three year re-evaluation, then you need to make sure the assessment form you signed includes an "FBA" or "functional behavior assessment" not just a review of behaviors etc... that is too subjective. If it is not there then put in writing tomorrow and send it registered mail to get a receipt.... ask for the addition of a functional behavioral assessment leading to revisions in his IEP and BIP.... THIS IS MANDATED. The mandate says that when there is a pattern of behaviors that are interfering with his or other's success in school, there needs to be a functional behavior assessment. Even if no other evaluations are being done at the time and it can happen over and over as needed. School teams miss this all the time, try to randomly deal with behaviors and just consequence things etc.... The mandate is clear... must happen. [/QUOTE]
