There's nothing in IDEA that says who gets to decide the IEP meeting agenda. Make sure your concerns are all discussed!

This is such a great visual of co-regulation. Of course sometimes your child won't want to be held and don't force it. But if we can stay calm, meet the feeling not the behaviour then co-regulation can happen. When we hold our child there is a physical change. Their nervous system will mirror ours. We just have to wait for the fire to go out.

This breaks my heart 💔.

Can we please come together and make school more enjoyable for ALL children?

This is powerful.

I do not know who to thank for this graphic.

Make sure your child has an appropriate IEP or BIP. Honestly, if they are following an appropriate BIP you should not have formal or informal suspensions for behaviors that are a manifestation of the child's IEP.

Does your child keep getting sent home from school? Is the school constantly calling you to come pick them up due to behaviors? That's an informal suspension.
