  Case: Behavior IEPs
For a student with an Emotional Behavioral Disorder IEP, we are not allowed to write discipline referrals on their behavior since it is considered to be congruent with their disability. When these students are disruptive and not meeting their IEP goals, what measures should be taken with having discipline referrals as an option?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am working in a high school ESE classroom with moderate to severely intellectually disabled students. The teachers in this class say they do not typically write referrals unless there is a major situation, such as fighting or other physical activities. The reason for this is not because they were told not to but because the consequences are harder to determine by admin so the teacher tries to handle everything in class. Having things such as behavioral point sheets with incentives may help. Also small group settings where more attention can be given to the student may be helpful.
