 My daughter has an IEP. She was suspended for fighting.
- Can the school change placement because of behavior problems?
- Can the school suspend your child for 45 days or longer?
- Does the school have to provide educational services during suspension?
Do you know your rights and your child's rights concerning behavior problems and discipline?
If your child's behaviors are symptoms of a larger problem that needs to be addressed, putting her out of school will not address these problems.
In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will learn what the law requires IEP teams to do when children with disabilities have behavior problems, what rights your child has, and what parents can do to protect these rights.
Please don't hesitate to forward this series to other friends, families, or colleagues.
