[QUOTE="buddy, post: 465216, member: 12886"] Wow sounds like a really caring principal. I may be stating the obvious, but to a principal when things get rough they typically go to " this school is not a good fit" before they try the multiple steps that can happen to intervene. I dont remember if he is on an IEP...I guess I am assuming so but, sorry if not. If so, a change in placement, even from a charter school (which receives monies from the district for the student and is not a private school) has to be an IEP driven decision. And it certainly may be the best decision, you know your kid so maybe. But if he is in his last year at a school where he feels secure, I think I hear you saying you'd like him to try to stay and finish. A functional behavior assessment to see what the issues are, where they are happening he most, what the triggers are or to identify areas of skill development that need to be considered should be done...From that then, to develop a plan using researched based, appropriate methods to help him work through the issues would the "best practices" step to take before placing him in a setting that from what you said, would be considered for most kids as more restrictive. (in the sense that it is not with neurotypical peers for role models etc.) - The law requires least restrictive environment which is most often viewed as having kids in the gen. ed. setting as much as possible, but we all know this is not least restrictive for many so of course it is a kid by kid consideration. I hope it goes smoothly and it likely will because it sounds like they are very caring and reasonable. sorry for the bad grammar and run on sentences, early morning and trying to enjoy moments before difficult child wakes....smile [/QUOTE]
