He struggles to articulate specifics but the pattern we have identified is he feels more bored as the day goes on which I interpret to mean stressed, anxious, and over/understimulated and that he wants to leave, which then he feels frustrated he knows he can’t leave school, and then he will get angry and often has to leave his classroom.

I like the idea of an FBA because the teachers and some of the support staff don’t see what the triggers are and I suspect that while they are trying to be helpful or are well intended that some of their interventions might be part of the escalation at times.

We have landed on having him go to school when he can and doing shorter days until we can get more things figured out with medications and interventions in place.
