Case Study: Tim is an 18-year old student from Calhoun, Georgia who is being served in special education under the category of OHI (specifically for ADHD). He was recently caught smoking cigarettes in an outdoor area of his high school for the third time in the same school year. The discipline for the first infraction was 3 days of in-school suspension. The disciplinary action for the second infraction was 5 days out-of-school suspension, and the proposed discipline for this third infraction is 10 days out-of-school suspension. The school conducts a manifestation determination meeting for Tim's third smoking incident. Tim attends the meeting with his parents. At the meeting, Tim tells the disciplinary team that smoking helps calm his nerves so he can focus in class. He also presents a note from his family physician stating that some studies have shown that nicotine can have a temporary, calming effect on students with ADHD (though the doctor does not recommend that Tim smoke).
