[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 505943"] So this "video" doesn't show the whole thing. My question would be, "the teacher is an adult and my son is a disabled minor so who is to blame? The teacher instigated this by not allowing my son to sharpen his pencil and then punished him when he COULDN'T take notes and then progressed to verbally and physically him. If you insist on suspending or expelling my son for this incident, I will be contacting an attorney as soon as I leave this room." Legally, the teacher was wrong. The teacher needs training in dealing with behavior appropriately. The team needs to come up with a concrete behavior plan IN WRITING to add to his IEP. In order to do that, they need to conduct a Functional Behavior Analysis and he needs to be in school for them to do that. Tell them you want an FBA and a meeting to develop a behavior plan. If they refuse, tell them that you will be contacting an attorney as soon as you leave the room. Breathe. You have the law on your side. It might also help if you can get written statements from other students in the class that witnessed the incident, if they are willing. If nothing else, keep asking them "Which one in that incident is the adult? Who should have known better?" Play the broken record with this phrase and the lawyer one. Keep repeating it over and over until they listen if you have to. [/QUOTE]
