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!) Document, document, and document. I would also contact the parents to see if they support you or not. They might have some strategies that can help you. Give the student some social books. This might help them see how their actions impact others.
