...in the case of a child whose behavior impedes the child’s learning or that of others, consider the use of positive behavioral interventions and supports, and other strategies, to address that behavior. 20 U.S.C. Section 1414(d)(3)

When schools repeatedly use disciplinary actions, children with disabilities may not be receiving appropriate behavioral interventions and supports.

Students miss classes every day because of behavior caused by their disabilities.

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) data shows that minority students and students with disabilities are disproportionately impacted.

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate, you will learn about the school's responsibility in behavior and discipline issues and the newest guidance from US DOE about improving school discipline policies. You will find a Discipline Resource Manual with IDEA's provisions to prevent suspension.

We hope you will forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.

  • detailed discussions of related services

  • the use of PBIS

 

US DOE Guidance: Providing Behavioral Supports

US DOE Guidance about the IDEA requirement for schools to provide positive behavioral supports to students with disabilities through the IEP process.


 

Behavior Problems at Recess? Address PBIS in the IEP

Schools are not correct when they tell parents they are not required to provide assistance for activities that do not involve academics or take place after school.

The IEP team must consider all of your child's behavioral needs.
