  Case: Too many reminders?
I am working in an SVE classroom this semester with middle school students. One of our students with Autism has a problem with becoming very silly at time, and can be very noisy and disruptive. We have come up with positive reinforcements that he really wants to work for, but he still needs reminders at times. To me, it does not hurt to give a student reminders that he needs to control himself, but when do you draw the line and try another option? The student has been able to re-diret himself and get back on task, and I would much rather have that then have to have him removed from the classroom for being disruptive.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
you can try a new system. that you give him x amount of times you can redirect him that day. if he has a few times of redirection left will result in a reward. but it needs to be a significant amount of points to earn a reward. the reward can happen in the classroom or at home if you can get your parents involved.
