[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 399031, member: 2322"] Hi difficult child 2 is due to have a FBA (and safe schools assessment) as a result of his actions before Christmas (punched two kids without a lot of provocation). He is generally very impulsive, trying very hard socially to fit in but is developmentally delayed--high functioning Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) kid). I have read Ross Greene Lost at school. My worry is that FBA is going to target actions that can be taken after disruptive or socially inappropriate behavior, rather than think about how to alter the environment so that the behavior doesn't take place. But realistically what is the best I can expect of school? He has been mainstreamed. Has some aide support in classes (he and a couple others share) which being 13 he is embarrassed about. I have some sympathy for him not wanting and doubt that the school would provide a 1 on 1 aide. There is some talk of sending him to a behavior intervention center for 45 days, but really I don't think this is a kid that would respond real well to a behavior level system. And it would expose him to kids who are more conduct disordered. I generally think he is doing about as well as he can do behavior wise. We live in a really small school district--alternative at this point is the self contained room which basically services severely disabled, autistic etc. Cognitively he is ok. I don't really know what to ask for at this point and am really depressed and worried about how to help him. [/QUOTE]
