Question:
Special Education Law Module 6 Assignment: State and Federal Law and IEP requirements
Geneva is a thirteen-year-old student with behavior issues and a learning disability. She has had an IEP for the past five school years that addresses behavior with a behavior intervention plan that includes avoiding trigger points, allowing her to leave the classroom when necessary to relax and calm herself, and the support of a teacher's aide. The IEP also provides services for her learning disability.
Over the past month, Geneva's behavior at school has deteriorated. She has hit herself on multiple occasions in class, and she hit another student in class on one occasion. She has also yelled at the teacher and ripped posters off the classroom wall when she was upset on a couple of occasions.
Yesterday, Geneva began yelling at the teacher, got up from her desk, and started walking towards the teacher. The teacher's aide did not know what to do, so the aide physically restrained Geneva while the teacher called for help from the school resource officer (SRO). Geneva was then restrained by the SRO and escorted to the office where she was permitted to calm down. Geneva's IEP and behavior intervention plan do not mention aversives or physical restraints.
What, if anything, should Geneva's IEP team do based on the legal requirements for IEPs in federal and Georgia state law?
