The Texas legislature has made some changes regarding the discipline of students with disabilities, primarily through the passage of HB 785.  The new law addresses FBAs, BIPs, the use of restraint, and time-out.  Accordingly, I’ve made some changes in the content of the Toolbox. 

So we are now up to Toolbox 4.1! The basic content is the same—ten “tools” designed to help you simultaneously serve students appropriately and maintain safety.  So if you are interested in some training along those lines, let me know!
