[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 93686, member: 23"] Inappropriate behavior management at school can, in fact, cause many additional problems. As you can probably tell, I've been on OSEP's site all morning looking for some of their old behavior/discipline policy letters. lol I was not successful in locating OSEP's behavior/discipline policy letters I was looking for; the ed.gov links I have, have been moved or archived. I have no more time to search for them. Positive behavior interventions are highly supported by the US Department of Education. Why schools insist on continuing to use a behavior method that clearly is not working, and clearly are making things worse, is beyond my comprehension. [url]http://www.pbis.org/[/url] is sponsored in part by US Dept of Education, OSEP. "Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) are not just good practice, but are good policy as well. In 1997, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was amended to include PBIS as the recommended form of intervention when dealing with behavioral issues for children with disabilities. In fact, IEP teams are required by IDEA to consider the use of PBIS for children with disabilities whose behavior impedes their learning or the learning of others. This portion of the PBIS website explains in greater detail the legal and policy issues around the use of PBIS; it includes a FAQ, publications, and links to other relevant information." Check the Sp Ed Archives also. Hopefully, at least some of the behavior info was cut and pasted from sites rather than just posting a link. When the letter is received, you should be contacted to sign some papers evidencing "parent consent" to evaluate. Do not let them talk you out of evaluating at this time. If they refuse to evaluate, they must notify you of that fact in writing -- and "because we said so" isn't sufficient. Keeping a log is a very good thing. Good job! It appears to me that you are doing all the things you should be doing. Just keep reading and educating yourself about yours and your child's educational rights. [/QUOTE]
