Is there anything I can put in the IEP to keep my son safe from others special needs kids that hit? This has been a huge issue and the school has not taken my requests for a health and wellness plan or any accommodations to help keep him safe. I just keep being told it’s a staffing issue, not an IEP one. My son has developed vomit induced anxiety because of this on going problem. Its only 3 kids lately but I feel because they have special needs to my son isn’t getting any help. I should point out the have moved him classes 4 times to try and stop the issues but then move the problem kids into the same class a week later. He was in all day special ed but I was told the only way to get him away from those kids was to put him in part-time gen ed. He is such a sweet and kindhearted kid that he would never hurt someone on purpose and he cant understand why these kids keep hurting him. He is 6 and in 1st grade. Its hard to force a kid to go to school when they know they are going to be hit in the stomach while at school. I have exhausted all resources available to me in my current area and need help from someone that might have experience with this type of situation. I just bought your IEP guides hoping to find some answers but I haven’t seen anything in all the download files. Thank you for reading this

This should be neither here nor there with the IEP as this is general school safety. I'd speak to the administration about the lack of safety.

I have and nothing has been done

Unfortunate. Are any other parents concerned about the violence in the school? A group effort is always helpful and can make a bigger impact if you all go together.

 

I agree with going as a group of parents. You shouldn't have to put "protect kid from violence" in an IEP.

The fact these kids are being booked means someone dropped a ball somewhere.
