  Case: Roaming
I have a small class and all students have an IEP. There is one student who will do the work if I sit with him. This is not always possible. He roams all around the classroom during instruction and student work time. He does not distract the other students, but I would like for him to stay seated during instruction time.
When I ask him to sit he ignores me. What are some ways to have him start sitting during instruction time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
He isn't following your verbal commands so he needs to be given a reason to stay seated. At this point it might be good if you try the carrot or the stick kind of approach. The when he does something you do not like he gets a consequences that falls in line with his IEP and when he does the right thing reward again within his IEP. He needs understand that sitting is correct and roaming is not.

Comments: This is a great solution. I love the way to mentioned to align his rewards and his consequences with his IEP. If he is put on this type of behavior monitoring system, i believe that his behavior will decrease and eventually dissolve. He should be following directions in no time.

Comments: If I were in this same situation, this is what I would do but I would take it one step and day at a time. He may have ADD and need to be moving around at most times so having an alternative for him while he is sitting would be good.

Comments: I think this is a good solution for the problem. I think negative and positive reinforcement will be very helpful in this case. Like you said, it gives the student a reason to stay seated.

Comments: This could be on approach, but it seems like he just has a lot of energy and has a hard time being still. I would give him something that would channel his energy like a bouncy ball that he sits on or a stress ball.

Comments: This solution is not useful because this student is a person and not a mule. They need to be taught with respect and not "carrots" or rewards. There are punishments for actions that are not allowed and have been warned about.
