We do not want the BIP implemented. Is this something I should state in my “after email” requesting the final draft and the PWN? Our meeting was 1 week ago but I just saw on your blog that we should do a follow up email within a day or two. Meanwhile, my son’s teacher is emailing me on the side saying things like “off the record” and how she doesn’t know why they are giving so much push back on the 1:1 request. I just don’t feel like I can trust anyone! It’s a very unsettling feeling.

Hi! We just had our annual IEP meeting where we requested a 1:1 for our son for the next school year. They said no and instead presented us with a Behavioral Intervention Program. No FBA was done (to my knowledge) and it seems like this was hastily thrown together. I would like to think that I have a good relationship with his team but this was the first time we really asked for something and the whole vibe was tense during the meeting. Looking for any insight! BIP without an FBA- positive/negative? * my son will be in 4th grade. He has Autism and currently has “supplemental support for transitions” listed in his IEP. He has had an aide the entire year that has been in the role of a 1:1 without being an official 1:1. We were requesting it be made official for next year. *His current SpEd teacher recommended the 1:1. It wasn’t really on our radar. She asked me to meet and told me he has done so well with the support of the aide and thinks he should continue to have that support next year. In the IEP meeting, radio silence from the teacher. She did not advocate for the 1:1.
