  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!)
Sometimes I feel it is better to just let the student roam if they are still listening to instruction. Since you said that he does not distract other students then I do not feel it is a problem. If you are set on having that student seated then maybe offer a reward system that really appeals to that student. Such as being able to be the messenger, or extra five minute free time. Good luck!

Comments: I would not do this because although it is not a distraction now, it can be. Also, other students must know that the expectation is that ALL students remain in their seat. There shall be no exceptions.
