Anne Ortiz SPD 510 September 13, 2023 1. In your role, what types of discipline issues have you found to be the most common with students with disabilities? a. AP: The biggest thing we deal with are students getting very upset and following with inappropriate behaviors in the classroom (i.e., screaming, throwing supplies). b. Lead SpEd Teacher: I deal more so with students who are unwilling to do what is asked of them and become upset or shut down and refuse to do what is asked of them. 2. In regards to IDEA, what is your responsibility regarding the discipline components for students identified as receiving special education services? a. AP: I first check in with the special education teacher to see if the student is on an IEP and if they have a BIP on file that we need to be following. If they do then we follow the steps as outlined in the BIP. This is assuming that it is not a severe behavior, if it is something severe then the student may be sent home or suspended for a day or two usually. The first thing we try to do is communicate with the student and families to figure out the cause. b. Lead SpEd Teacher: My role is upholding the IEP and the BIP as documented in the student’s paperwork. Depending on the type of behavior I would usually begin with having a conversation with the student, and also reaching out to the parent to let them know what is happening. From there I may just contact the parent and set up a meeting to discuss what is going on and figure out what we can do to help get the child’s behavior back under control. Depending upon how severe the child is disciplined due to the behavior would determine how I proceed. In some cases, I may need to look at completing an FBA and having the school psychologist come in and determine what we can do and whether we feel it is appropriate to create a BIP for the child. 3. How do you play a role with in-school suspension versus out of school suspension for students who receive special education services? a. AP: If a student has in school suspension, they usually will sit somewhere close to me and I will reach out to the teachers and get the students work for them to complete while they are sitting in the area designated for them. I will also reach out to parents and make them aware of what has happened and the consequences their child will be given. For part of the day, they may also do some work in the lunch room with the custodian helping with his tasks to provide a small break from sitting in a desk all day. b. Lead SpEd Teacher: Pretty typically I will speak with the parents and discuss the situation with the administration. I will sometimes help collect the work from the general education teachers, and provided the student with an explanation for what they are expected to complete. They occasionally will be sent to my room to spend their suspension with our staff and provided those additional assistance as needed to complete the assignments.

4. How are you involved in the decision making process regarding the discipline of students with disabilities? a. AP: I am typically the one who deals with the student’s behavioral incidents, and frequently make the decision of what type of discipline they will be handed as a result of their behavior. The number of incidents and the type of incident play a role on the decision I make for the type of consequence they are given. b. Lead SpEd Teacher: In the case that the student is showing a mild behavior I may be called to remove them from the classroom and speak with them. They may come to complete what they were doing in the resource room, and I may make a phone call home to discuss the incident with the parents. In the case that it is more severe than the AP will be called in and I will just have a conversation with the AP about what happened and help to create a plan to prevent the behavior from occurring again. 5. What types of data do you collect regarding behavior/discipline issues of students with disabilities? If you do not collect the data, do you review the data to assist with any discipline issues? a. AP: I collect the referrals, types of incidents, and times of day the incidents occur. This is typically collected in our school system. I also will record the results of the behavior and what type of consequence was handed for their behavior. b. Lead SpEd Teacher: I will do observations and collect data such as what type of behavior the student is displaying. I also look at how often it is happening and the times at which it is happening. I look at what may have happened prior to the behavior and what happened during and after the behavior. How long did the behavior last, what helped the student to regulate? 6. How are special education service provided to students with disabilities who are suspended if needed? Does your role have responsibilities in determining or providing these services or ensuring these services are met? a. AP: I do not provide any services. I do ensure that if the child should receive services and they are out for a length of time that they will require services provided outside of the school setting that the special education department are completing this for the students. I would also be in contact with the Special Ed department at the administration building to determine how to proceed with specific incidents. b. Lead SpEd Teacher: Depending upon the length of time the student is out I would be the person in charge of setting services up in the alternate location. This only would happen once the student has been suspended for longer that five days. I was able to meet with a Special education teacher and our assistant principal to discuss the questions. I noticed that when it comes to dealing with the more severe behaviors the teachers usually refer to the administration in the building to help determine how to discipline an issue. I also learned that the special education teachers usually work as a primary source for teachers to contact about students with disabilities to provided assistance. In this case it may look like taking the student out of the room and providing them with a break to regulate and come back down so that they are able to have a conversation. Being in an elementary school the punishment typically is not as harsh as you would see in the middle or high school grade levels, and this is because we typically do not see behaviors that are as

severe. Many cases we are able to pull students out and talk with them about what is appropriate and not and how they should work to fix the situation and what they could do in the future to prevent the same type of incident from happening. We are obviously not dealing with significant behaviors often and it is usually something we can handle without having to suspend the student.
