  Case: Middle School Behavior Problem Not Solved
This semester I am interning in a middle school with ESE inclusion students. A majority of the ESE students are boys with SLD, ADHD, or selective mute-ism. These students really like to be involved in sports. However, lately the students have become openly defiant with me. I have tried giving them rewards for good behavior and giving them more encouragement on assignments, none of which seem to be helping the situation. These students do not yet see me as an educator. I am very lost on how to help these types of students. I do not want to issue out lunch detentions if it will make the situation worse.

What can I do to help these boys and stop the misbehavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Best option would be to find ways to get one on one with the student and build a relationship with them. Show them that you are someone who they can trust. Find something you know they like, such as video games or sports. Then request their help with the other students in class that they need someone to look up to and they could be just that student. These students often come from broken families and just need someone who shows that they care.
