Case: Parents who refuse help their child needs
I have a new student who is considered EBD (Emotional Behavior Disorder). He has an IEP for behaviors only, no academics. He has a dedicated para in general and special education classes (sped classes for social skills). He has "fits" daily and has to be removed from the room, often for hours at a time, hence the dedicated para. Both the general ed and special ed teacher have gone out of their way to accommodate this student, changing classroom routines, schedules, tasks/activities to best help him. His behaviors are beginning to have a negative effect on other students (in both classes as well as neighboring classes). Often times, these "fits" involve a psychosis that we, as teachers, are not qualified to "fix." When trying to place him in the correct class (EBD self-contained) his parents pulled him out of school to home school him. Now, he is being served in a self-contained class that is grade levels behind because his parents have threatened to sue. How do we go about giving this student the services he needs while looking out for the best interest of other students in the class and keep his parents happy? This child also needs services that the education system cannot provide and his parents think he's ok, that his very disturbing threats and actions are nothing.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a very fine line to walk. Certainly the parents feel like they are making the best choices for their child, but often times parents have no idea what is truly best in the school setting. I taught sped for three years before switching to regular ed, and I often found that some parents were in denial. I think the first step here is possibly conferencing with the parents to let them know that you only have the very best intentions for their child. Maybe not bring up any other issues than just that simple fact.... "We only want the very best." This would hopefully set a more positive tone for future conversations. Good luck! |

| Comments: We always start our meetings off saying we want nothing but the best for him but we haven't had a meeting that is strictly for letting them know we have his best interest in mind. Thanks! |
