Due to various disabilities, there are certain behavioral issues that can surface in a child. Anger, frustration, resentment, apathy, and emotional outbursts can lead to the child giving up, disrupting other students, or being unfairly discriminated against. It is important for you as a parent to recognize the root of these issues. As you are probably well aware, not all behavioral issues in a child are caused by malicious rebellion. It is often a difficult question to ask yourself whether your child can’t or won’t do something. Taking steps to correct these behavioral problems is an important part of the development of your child.

As the parent of a child with a disability, you may have approached the school district at some point in the past with the desire for an individual education program. This plan can include arrangements and modifications to reduce stress and help allay behavioral issues. It is also important for you to know that there are options for you to pursue if your school is not providing your child with the plan that they need. You may benefit from preparing your own plan to pursue your goals and desires for your child.
