  Case: Self-abuse
I have an ESE student that hits himself in the head at random. He also bangs his for arms on the bottom of the desk. I am new to this student, and I am trying out some new techniques with him. One of his teachers has told me that he is doing these behaviors for attention. I would like to pursue some other avenues in order to explore his intentions. Do I listen to the veteran teacher, or do I follow my instincts?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I believe it is good to have ideas and previous tactics from the veteran teacher, but I do also believe it is important to try your own thing and see if you're able to handle the situation differently. It is very important to include the parent in on any changes as well.

Comments: I agree. All students are different. Take the advice from the veteran teacher, but also try your own stuff. A lot of students with special needs do different things for self-stimulation. So while this may not seem "safe", it could be helping him to focus.
