The School Psych considered the FBA as a last resort and other steps should be taken instead. The principal was the LEA. The school psych was not at the meeting in which an FBA was requested. The principal and case manager were both present when the teacher said she wouldn’t fill it out.
He has had more incidents this time one was caught by a special education teacher. We had a meeting and this time it felt very positive. And I felt truly heard. As the special education teacher explained what she saw. And we discussed his diagnosis and what kind of challenges those present.
I am writing my parental concerns. I am requesting pull out from Gen Ed for portions of the day. I am also going to be wanting them to discuss why this school is appropriate for him to stay. And the steps that will be taken to ensure safety. I will be requesting the special education teacher I spoke with today to attend the meeting if at all possible.
