So , if you were me , would you sign this paper ??? i'd think they should let us meet with them before they interview or do whatever they will to DS . Just like a therapist we're meeting next month , she wants to meet us first before she starts the therapy with DS .
Well, I have a totally different relationship with the school than you do, but I did sign the paper to let them do an FBA. Then we argued about everything that was in it, and the school has (sort of) backed down. That is, we've never been presented with anything but a draft, and a promise to get a final version to us. They have implemented a behavior plan despite the lack of a completed FBA - that is also marked "draft" in everything they've showed us. But they're not doing any harm to DD9, so we've been letting it go for now.
The FBA in our school is completed by the school counselor, not by an outside evaluator. Is there a reference to someone else on yours? It's based on observations made in several environments at school (with teacher, specialist classes, recess, lunch, etc.). There isn't necessarily any interaction with your kid at all, just observation.
