Case: New Student Lacking Appropriate Social Skills
I just received a new special needs student in my classroom from another state. He has had a very difficult time adjusting to our classroom and school rules. During the time he is in my regular ed classroom, he constantly hums or sings during independent work time, he refuses to complete work, and he has difficulty showing respect towards adults and acknowledging when someone is addressing his behavior. I would consider myself a moderately strict teacher and I make is a priority to stay consistent with the students. It is already March and we are heading into testing time. What are some ways that I can quickly get this child on the right track so that I can focus my attention on covering standards instead of behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have a student in my classroom who is special needs and demonstrates similar behaviors. One thing I would suggest is giving this student a desk that is away from the other students. This way, if he is compelled to hum or sing it won't be as distracting to the other students. I would also create an individualized behavior management plan with this student and use positive reinforcement to motivate the student to want to do well in the classroom setting. For example, if the student is not completing his work, I would tell him that if he completes all of his work that day, he can have some extra computer time at the end of class. If he is not showing respect to adults, I would model for the student how he should respond to adults and give him a check every time he shows an adult respect. This should also be rewarded with something that he likes. |

| Comments: Isolating him may hurt his self esteem! I would not suggest making him feel more different from the students than he already does. |

| Comments: Moving the student's desk is an easy solution for the humming and/or singing. The student may need to do it to concentrate and allowing him to do it by simply moving his desk is a good start. The individualize behavior management plan is a good step for reinforcing positive behavior. |

| Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. Using rewards as initiative and reinforcement is a great way to get positive behavior. |
