Case: Least Restrictive Environment
I have a new student to my 4th grade classroom. He has autism and while I have had students with autism in the mainstream classroom in previous years, I have never had a student this severe. The student had a one on one parapro at the school he attended prior to my school. I am very concerned, because I teach the inclusion class this year and I have a high number of ADHD students. Since this student requires so much support, my inclusion students are not receiving the services required by their IEP when the inclusion teacher comes to our classroom for the included segments. In my opinion, these other students are in their least restrictive environments because they are successful with the services, accommodations, and modifications they receive. However, my new student takes away from these services. He is very distracting to others and distracted himself. I do not feel that he is benefiting from the services, and the other students are missing out. What are the next steps to show that the student needs another placement without insulting the SPED teacher and seeming to tell her how to do her job appropriately? What actions should be taken without tattle tailing that my students with IEPs are not being served because of the attention one student requires?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This student would probably be best serviced in a resource room where there are no more than five to seven students opposed to an inclusion settiing. If I were in this situation, I would invite the SPED director into the room to observe the student that requiring all the attention as well as note the students who are not receiving services. In addition, I would document a day where the inclusion teacher actually assisted students receiving services and recorded their grades to compare their grades to the days where they do not receive assistance due to this one disruptive child. |

| Comments: I think that you have provided a good solution. Working with the SPED director directly is a good idea. If the needs of each student are not being met due to distractions from one student then something must be done. Good solution. |

| Comments: I like the idea of inviting the SPED director in for observation and voicing concerns. Clearly, lots of documentation will be needed as well. |
