[QUOTE="buddy, post: 549718, member: 12886"] If this is truly a school only behavior situation, then I would be maybe looking for a better school for him. If this is triggering that much for him he needs a truly loving, calm, placement to help for now. Just my opinion, and it is a hard thing to do, trust me on how much I understand that! It is true, school SHOULD be able to do better, but they likely wont. There may be moments, situations, where they do better, but they now have an opinion and likely use a tone of voice that may not change even with the fba. And beware, an FBA is only as good as those doing them and interpreting them. Many do the basic what is the function of the behavior categories: to seek attention, to escape work, etc. Unfortunately that is highly limited for some kids who have different wiring or mental health conditions. It is often that they do not know replacement behaviors or have the skills to tolerate frustration, to handle the setting, to deal with whatever underlying issues are being triggered. Your kiddo has such a complex history, and just MHO needs a program that focuses on gentle, pro-self esteem methods that prevent the behavior from being triggered in the first place. And since any attention is sometimes as good as anything to our kids, even if he is getting consequences from them it is likely reinforcing the behaviors and they are maybe increasing despite their efforts. He gets a reaction and that is way better than nothing which is maybe what he had to do so long ago. Just thoughts, I could be way off, but it is one perspective. Are there any schools for kids with behavior challenges around you? [/QUOTE]
