Sound familiar?
- A staff member has threatened to call police or file a report over your child's behavior.
- Nobody has mentioned whether the behavior is connected to the disability.
- You're not sure whether a Manifestation Determination Review should happen first.
- You feel like the situation is escalating faster than anyone is slowing it down.
What to do right now
1
Ask directly what triggered the threat
Get the specific behavior and incident in writing, not a general description.
2
Ask whether an MDR has been considered
Discipline tied to a disability has a required process before things escalate further.
3
Get ahead of it before the next incident
A former insider can tell you what should happen procedurally before law enforcement becomes involved.
