If their discipline or behavioral problem is not related to their misbehavior, then this language will say they would be treated like any other child who misbehaves in school, subject to discipline, suspension, or other disciplinary action a school would normally impose. I know you would like to say any child, perhaps, could have an alternative, but I am not sure we have the funding to do that. But I don't think in this instance if their misbehavior is not connected to their disability, they should be treated preferentially to another child.
