“Oppositional Defiance Disorder” is a diagnosis that can get a student an IEP.
So a disruptive, violent child can show up to school every day - throw chairs, bring drugs to school - then get mom or dad to take them to the doc to diagnose them with ODD. It’s a manifestation of their disability.
“Inclusion” also means that these children need to be placed in the same classroom as all the other children. So 29 children are subject to the violence of 1.
So here is the core.
This, is not in accordance with the IEP, and I dont know the channels, but should be reported.
My son is allowed a break, at any time, to go to said resource room, and utilizes it often. He gets frustrated, takes a break in the room, maybe five mins the teachers say, and then he returns with lower frustration levels. Id raise hell over this. The best part of his IEP is this break room, and him being allowed to use is as needed. It is like, harm reduction for sure.
Do you think I haven’t reported things?
I’ve emailed superintendents and the state about things before.
I am trying to raise the alarm here. The system is broken and not working as it is supposed to.
