[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 380291, member: 1631"] I completely agree that not being able to talk to the doctor and being blown off like that would lead me to switch doctors. As for the suspension, yes they can suspend as the others have said for up to 10 days in the year before a manifestation determination is made. At that point if the suspensions are found to be directly related to his disability the suspensions will probably have to be done in school. When my son was in first grade he was suspended for throwing a stapler at a teacher-I had no problem with the suspension or any others that he received up until 4th grade. I'm not sure he learned anything from the suspensions but I understood the need for them and made sure I had him doing "school" and "house" work at home those days and that his lunch was only a peanut butter sandwich-no choices. Again don't know that it helped but I did want him to try to understand he needed to work on his behaviors that he was suspended for. However, in 4th grade he was suspended way too many times for very frivolous reasons and because the Special Education teacher refused to follow the bip which made his behavior worse. At that point we had difficult child's psychiatrist write a note explaining that the behaviors difficult child was exhibiting were due to his disability. We with a person from the Special Education department in the district and were able to have it written into his iep that he only be suspended for level 4 behaviors. As for whether or not a bip is needed (and it very well may be) I would look to see if this is a pattern that is developing with his behavior in the classroom or if the physical altercation is more like a one time happening. Changing rooms is always a difficult decision for a principal to make, however, in your child's case already being into the school year several weeks and he still not feeling comfortable it seems like a change is needed. Is the teacher supportive of the change? [/QUOTE]
