School staff are trained to understand how a student’s disability might affect their actions and to use strategies like calming techniques, positive behavior supports, and clear expectations and routines to help them be successful in school. Even with these strategies in place, a student’s behavior can lead to a disciplinary change in placement. When that happens, the school must conduct a manifestation determination meeting to determine whether the behavior was related to the student’s disability.
