This topic has a tremendous impact on me as an educator.  As mentioned, it is crucial that I am aware of how my students' disabilities might impact their behaviors.  It is important that case conference committees discuss these behavior concerns to create a behavior plan or include appropriate services to best meet the needs of my students.

If there is a repeated pattern of behavior, it is essential to determine if a student's behavior is a result of their disability. If this is the case, a student's placement may be inappropriate. More services or a change in services might be needed, such as counseling services or a change in educational setting. Student's with disabilities have the right to an appropriate education and if their behavior is impacting their own ability or the ability of others to learn, than it is essential that changes to their services be made.

All students must follow school rules.  When students break the rules, schools have the authority to discipline them.  However, students with disabilities have protections in regards to school discipline.
*10 cumulative days is the total number of days that a student with a disability can be removed and not receive educational services.  Suspension is a removal.  In school suspension is not considered a removal if student still has access to general education curriculum and is still receiving services stated in IEP.  If a student is suspended from the bus, this would be a removal unless alternative transportation is provided.
*Schools must conduct a manifest determination before implementing any removal that would be longer than 10 consecutive days or a series or removals that would total more than 10 days in the school year. The information gathered in a manifestation determination would be reviewed to determine if the student's behavior is a result of their disability.  If so, the school could not carry out any discipline that would remove the student based on their disability.  If it is determined that the student's behavior is not based on their disability, schools may discipline the student in the same manner they would another student.
