[QUOTE="Babbs, post: 74700, member: 3820"] K, I was reading your post and had a couple of questions. 1. Where was your son being educated while he was on long term suspension? Did you ever have a manifestation meeting with the SD with yourself and your son represented? 2. Why did you refuse the special behavior school? Was it distance, program, or ?... 3. Does the current IEP have a BIP? If not, is this new evaluation a functional behavior assessment to help develop a BIP? 4. In order for a student to be on an IEP there must be specially designed instruction (SDI) With the diagnosis listed, I can see where your difficult child needs SDI in the area of behavior which would be why the teacher would be monitoring and reporting behavior in order to collect data for SDI. What other areas were on the IEP? What other areas does he currently qualify in? Based on your information, it's hard for me to see where else the school would be able to provide support. If he doesn't receive SDI in any other areas then I can easily see where a school would write a loose behavior management goal in order to keep an IEP accommodations in place. 5. It would not be unusual for a school to request a re-evaluation when the most recent one is from 18 months ago. In pediatric terms, 12 months can be huge. The school district cannot change a medical diagnosis, they can change an eligibility category - which really means squat when it comes to an IEP. The only eligibility category really does is ensure that a student has a documented disability of some sort. [/QUOTE]
