[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 409487"] Thanks for all this. The SD uses the EBD classification to "focus" on the behaviors. An Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) classification would get them to focus on those issues. I am leaning toward the SMI classification so they will have to focus on both. Most of his behaviors that he exhibits are because of frustration and anger about not understanding things, not being understood, inability to put his feelings into words, and the punishment he receives for "not understanding". He has begun to show signs of severe depression when it comes to school. That is also coming out as anger. They see that he can't control his anger and that is not acceptable so that is what the SD is focusing on. They have done an FBA but their "hypotheses" for the behaviors consist of "wanting control when he feels adults have too much" and "to avoid unpleasant or difficult tasks" and "to fit in with his peers", etc. You get the drift. As far as I am concerned, their FBA is useless. I live in a small town so there are no other options except to open enroll him in a different public school 15-30 miles away. The SD is pushing for me to "put him" in a school for severely mentally ill children. That is not an option for me! His behaviors are caused by his lack of skills caused by the Asperger's. I cannot afford a private tutor but I am going to begin documenting the time I spend explaining things to difficult child as well as what it was he didn't understand in the first place. A couple teachers claim they are "helping" him try to understand what is being taught but according to difficult child, their explanations don't make any sense to him. Not helping him at home would cause even more stress for him. He WANTS to learn and doesn't mind the work. So far I am the only one that "has the time" to help him understand so he can. I have offered to work with a 1:1, train them to help difficult child like I do, SHOW them what I do and how I do it. It would be a worthwhile time investment for me. JJJ, that was my plan but was wondering if there was any documentation or "proof" that I should bring with me to back up what I want for difficult child. Thanks again guys. [/QUOTE]
