Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: wrong placement I was in a self contained ASD class last semester for my internship and there was one student in the class who was so wrongly placed it was unbelievable. He was textbook EBD and not at all doing well in an ASD setting. He was a constant problem and had to be sent out of the class everyday for misbehavior. He refused to any work and distracted the other students from doing their work. What do you think could be done in this situation to help this student? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would begin by finding out where the diagnosis took place. Was it through the school system, or was it through a private psychologist? If the student is diagnosed ASD, and you feel that it was a misdiagnosis, then I would bring that up at an IEP meeting. Perhaps, this student needs to be re-evaluated, and he may actually get a diagnosis of EBD.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree that first consulting the IEP to find the diagnosis given to the student is the most important as well as making sure the IEP team notes the behaviors you are witnessing. Then I would look to following other suggestions like the others mentioned such as contacting the special education director. Rated On: February 21, 2017 11:52 pm Rated By: tygaBu
