Is this a violation of ADA?
Hi. I'm a RSP teacher in California advocating for a friend who has a 2nd grade son diagnosed with ADHD and high anxiety issues. He is currently taking Concerta and Prozac. His high frustration levels have caused him to engage in aggressive behavior in the class setting (knocking over desks, spitting on faculty, etc). He has an IEP for RSP and counseling services. During his last field trip, the school informed my friend that her son could not attend unless a family member chaperoned. Grandfather offered to ride the bus with the student; however, the school said that they wanted the boy to have immediate transportation to remove him from the site should he act up. As a result, the grandpa had to drive his own vehicle to the field trip. Is this a violation of the ADA? We are currently awaiting results from the referral made to AB3632 to the Dept. of Mental Health and recent Psychiatrist visit diagnosed the student with ''autistic-like tendencies''. Parent is about to start student on Risperdal to deal with aggressive behavior, but student has not started the medication yet.
