My daughter has an IEP and she's subject to the same discipline as everyone else in her school. Even when she was in public school she was subject to the same discipline as everyone else. she has thank God never gotten into serious trouble but I wouldn't expect them to treat her any different than any other child in the school. My cousin is autistic and he has to abide by the same rules and regulations as all of the other children in his school. Unless you are a student with developmental delays than you should have to deal with the same rules and regulations as the other students. Just because you have an IEP doesn't not mean that you get to live by your own rules and regulations all an IEP means is that for some reason you learn differently as the majority of students. It does not usually mean that you're developmentally delayed. That is the only reason that you wouldn't understand the rules as they applied to you. If you're developmentally delayed that isn't indicated by the way that you write so I don't think that applies. An IEP isn't an automatic pass for anything but being taught the way that you learn.

That all depends on the IEP. Most students on IEPs have behavioral plans. These plans lay out exactly how this child is to be disciplined. Now, for some kids, the plan may allow for certain punishments to be used in the place of others, or for the child to be given certain warnings prior to. However, it is not the same for all children and will depend on why you are on the IEP and what the needs are. Teachers and admin will know the plan. Parents will too. As for students, doing your best to stay out of trouble is always the best plan...because even with the plan in place, I can garauntee you won't "get off" without some sort of consequnece or punishment if you do something wrong.

Your IEP would have to contain special provisions for an alternative discipline plan before you would not be subject to normal school discipline procedures. To write this into an IEP, there has to be evidence, testing, etc. that backs up the claim that you are not able to understand or conform to the same rules as others. This is very hard to prove since those types of students usually require an alternate placement than in the regular school setting anyway. I have rarely seen this done and I have taught for 32 years. Looks like you are going to have to play by the rules.

The are special discipline provisions for students on IEPS, but it typically refers to students who are cognitively impaired and their acting out behavior is a result of their disability. If you were so impaired that you didn't know the difference or understand right from wrong then you would recieve some protection.
