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.
This is my daughter, please just watch. I’m doing this so or children are heard and not dismissed. She should have been tested years ago. Schools talk about “she has behaviors”. No she has triggers. They ignored her IEP and they ignored her crying on the ground. My heart is broken.

Story of my life…
I don’t have a lawyer.
If you have not done so, contact your parent training, and information project. http://www.parentcenterhub.org/find-your-center
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?
I suggest sending your written request to the special ed director, indicating that you have been asking for some time. Your state parent training, & information project can assist you. http://www.parentcenterhub.org/find-your-center
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
