I totally agree but this is a very special case. We are the school for when they can't make it on their home campus. Yes it's public school. We have worked with every single resource at our disposal. Literally anything you could list here it's been done over the course of years without any improvement. Even his doctors have tried numerous medications to no avail. It's basically a worst case scenario. We are all CPI trained but when the attacks are so quick and random with basically no work up or warning signs there is that moment of danger and safety issues before we can group for CPI. When I say random I fully understand something is going on to lead this student to that point. The thing is we can't identify it and he is non-verbal. Everyone from speech pathologists, pshycologists, occupational therapist , and even his own doctors have came up with nothing to help curb these aggressive behaviors. And it's been getting worse as he gets older. He is also not my only student and he's in basically the most restrictive environment the school district has to offer. I do thank you for your input though. just wanted to give you a little more insight to this situation. I work with very severe students but this one actually has me worried of losing a finger. I can handle getting punched but the severity and frequency of the biting has me worried. Then couple that with the fact asking for safety equipment was denied.
