Behavioral challenges are an effect, not a cause.
Find the origin to solve the behavioral problem

FAQs

However, it is recommended that families speak with someone who is familiar with your child’s rights and has a thorough understanding of due process.

Behavioral issues are the effect of an underlying concern - whether it is biological, psychological, or environmental.
If you believe your child may have an underlying condition affecting behavior, it is advised to contact the school to initiate an evaluation. Parents may also pursue a private evaluation with a qualified professional such as a developmental pediatrician or neuropsychologist.

Due process is a formal way to resolve disputes. It is often a later stage of the disciplinary cycle.
Due process can only be filed for special education disputes. Families have a right to have an impartial hearing officer and to present evidence and witnesses at the hearing.
Perry Educational Consultants can provide expert witness testimony for due process hearings.
