Why do I have swings in levels of hope for my son? Is this the fate of CD parents?

[QUOTE="buddy, post: 502823, member: 12886"] I would never ever ever ever sign such a contract. Deciding on a behavior plan before a really good assessment including a functional behavior assessment is done goes against federal guidelines/mandates. The law says that a POSITIVE BEHAVIOR PLAN must be developed based on the analysis. This idea hits my gut in the worst way. It is your choice of course, you know your child but I simply can't imagine that this is even legal. They always have the right to do restraint or guide him away if there is a risk of imminent harm. If that is done more than a certain amount they MUST call for an IEP meeting and see what skills the child needs to learn to help them to cope better. It means the IEP is not adequate. I am so so sorry for his struggles and it is AWFUL to hear your child is doing things like that. They need to realize that their doing those things will not improve things for him and with his autism, and his pattern of imitation (sounds like not only the echolalia from before but he picked up some of the bully behaviors he experienced).... this will only up the problems. Put in writing that you want a functional behavior analysis to look at the causes of these behaviors. If they only stick to the same old, attention seeking/escape, etc..categories when they do the analysis, you are working with an amateur. They need to look at internal and external triggers including a NEW medication. After the whole evaluation is done then the team must come up with skill development goals and positive ways to improve the behavior. If he already has one, it is not working and they need to do it all over. It is likely a whole combination of issues and that is why we are always on such a rollercoaster..... ed. program can be good but medications are off. medications are good but they are not following through with positive behavior plans. Look no matter the diagnosis, and that is huge to investigate for sure... there is a problem at school and they HAVE TO handle it appropriately. [/QUOTE]
