“Oppositional Defiance Disorder” is a diagnosis that can get a student an IEP.

So a disruptive, violent child can show up to school every day - throw chairs, bring drugs to school - then get mom or dad to take them to the doc to diagnose them with ODD. It’s a manifestation of their disability.

“Inclusion” also means that these children need to be placed in the same classroom as all the other children. So 29 children are subject to the violence of 1.

If the manifestation determination reveals that the conduct was a manifestation of the child's disability, unless the provisions of an Interim Alternative Educational Setting apply (see criteria below) the IEP team must return the child to the placement from which the child was removed, unless the parent and the district agree to a change of placement.

    From a California website but an accurate reflection of federal law.

    It’s very cute how everyone assumes that the resources to write accurate IEPs are there. My first year teaching my “IEPs” were a spreadsheet with check boxes for accommodations… every school I’ve worked at has had kids with “resource room” listed as an accommodation without actually having a “resource room,” my “co-taught SPED class” was just me because they used the co-teacher to sub…
