  1. Can a child only be EBD at school? My son does not have behavior problems at home, only this year at school and the school wants to label him EBD. I agreed to a psych and his information along with my information does not show emotionality but the teacher ratings do so the school qualified him as EBD. I disagreed with the eligibility.

  2. Please help! I am in a similar situation. My son has behavior problems at his school and I have requested a functional behavior assessment, but the school continues to forget about it. I have sent many emails to the principal reminding her to do the assessment and she keeps telling me that she will, but it doesn’t happen. What can I do?

  3. What kind of behavior problems? What has school done to help? I am a special education teacher. The school has to provide services in the least restrictive environment. What does her IEP say the school is going to do? She should have a BIP, behavior intervention plan. Look over that. If they refuse to follow her BIP, that is illegal. Have u talked to special ed director? Principal, superintendent of school? If they are not following the BIP and refuse to comply, get u a good lawyer familiar with special ed. Laws.

    • Everything works fine if you can afford a lawyer. Unfortunately the horrible school systems know who can’t afford them and do everything they can to deny fape and laugh about it

      • While this happens, Congress recognized it, & put some things in place to try & assist parents. Parents can use the state complaint, & mediation processes without having an attorney. Congress also funded disability rights (legal services), & parent training & information projects in every state. http://www.parentcenterhub.org/find-your-center
