Navigating the world of special education is a daunting experience. This is even more true when your child struggles with challenging behaviors in school, of which are often related to a disability. It can be overwhelming. Schools may informally remove your child from class, call you to pick them up early due to maladaptive behavior. If not documented these are considered informal removals. A student with a disability has protections under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Maladaptive behavior can result in a loss of educational time, poor peer relationships, school avoidance and can have emotional ramifications for any student, which can result in a denial of a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). FAPE is the cornerstone of both laws. Because of this, there are specific requirements schools must follow when a student exhibits maladaptive behavior. As a parent, it’s hard to know what’s required by law and how to ensure your child’s rights are protected.

That’s where Project Accelerate comes in. Our downloadable PDF course, Challenging Behavior, it IS Rocket Science, was created by experienced special education advocates to give parents the knowledge and confidence they need.

In this course, you’ll learn:

  • Why behavior matters in special education and how it impacts academic success and peer relationships
  • The power of Positive Behavioral Interventions Supports (PBIS) and how to push schools to use them effectively
  • How behavior is communication what your child’s actions may be telling the school about unmet needs
  • Your rights under IDEA and Section 504 what schools are legally required to do when behavior interferes with learning
  • The importance of Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs) How they lead to effective Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)
