Summary: If you have any questions about special education or education law in general, contact one of our attorneys at (203) 221-3100.
If the local educational agency, the parent, and relevant members of the IEP Team determine that the child's conduct was a result of their disability, the IEP Team will:
-
conduct a functional behavioral assessment and implement a behavioral intervention plan for the child, as long as the local educational agency had not performed such an assessment before this determination or prior to the behavior that led to a change in placement
-
if a behavioral intervention plan already exists, review and modify it as necessary to address the child's behavior; and
-
return the child to their original placement from which they were removed, unless both the parent and the local educational agency agree to change the placement as part of the behavioral intervention plan modification.
