  Case: EBD in the regular ed classroom
A student who was adopted at birth recently found out that he was adopted and has used this as an excuse to act out in every area of his life. He has been classified as EBD and has recently started going back to counseling outside of the school building. When his teacher asks him a simple math question he gets angry, throws the book across the room and curses the teacher out. In a self-contained classroom this behavior is more manageable, but in a regular education classroom it becomes a huge disruption. What are some ways of effectively dealing with this EBD child who struggles to understand his actions are unwanted and unwelcomed by the teacher and the other students in the room?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have encountered this in the past and there are a few things that were successful for me. One, I stopped setting the stage for them to act out. Once I figured out that he did not like answering questions aloud, I stopped calling on him. When providing whole group instructions or activities, I would give all students a white board and ask them to write/respond to the question on their white board and hold it up in the air for me to view. His response to this was better because he didn't feel like he was being singled out. Another thing I did was sit down with him to talk about his triggers and develop a behavior management and reward tool that identified 3 negative behaviors that he would display and rewards if he did not display those behaviors in class. His behavior was assessed daily and he had to manage his behavior at least 80% of the time during the week to earn one of his rewards.
