Suspensions: ADHD, ODD, GIFTED, BUT NO IEP

Share

Reba:  I have a patient who is AIG, ADHD and ODD. The school wants to suspend her quite often. She does not have an IEP in place. I suggested to the parent that her child needs an IEP along with a BIP. The school has put an accommodation in place for her to go to a room to calm down. If this does not work they call the parent to pick her up immediately. I told the parent that this could be taken away just like it was given.

    • In Nebraska, Rule 51 speaks to the special education needs for children in the public & private school systems. No doubt other States have similar laws. In addition, neuropsychological testing might help to define the problem & point in the direction of solutions better than suspension.
