Case: Non-Verbal Student in Wheelchair
In my internship classroom, I have a student who is Non-Verbal and in a wheelchair. She is 17 years old and is on the level of about an 8 month old. She is able to get out of her wheelchair and sit in a normal chair for short periods of time and is able to walk with the help of a wall or railing. This is my first experience with a self-contained ESE student. My issue is, that because she is on such a different level then the rest of my students, it is difficult for me to dedicate a lot of attention when it comes to teaching her. She often becomes board in the classes with other students, and will begin to wheel around the room and snatch books and papers from other students and throw them across the room. This is often a huge distraction in the classroom. She does have a paraprofessional that accompanies her throughout the day, but sometimes she has to step out to help other students. How can I keep this student occupied throughout the day, so she does not disrupt the rest of the students? She also often refuses to do other activities that I have prepared for her.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a conversation with the rest of the class that this student is special and works in a different way. Sometimes this student behaves inappropriately by taking other's items, but that we must still do our best to stay on task. I would give the class as a whole a point each time that they disregard the misbehavior and continue to stay on task. As for occupying the nonverbal student, it is understandable that it may be hard to entertain her because she is at the mental state of an eight month old. I would provide physical objects for her to hold (stuffed animal, stress ball, blanket, entertaining book, etc). Rather than forcing school work on this student, I would encourage her to entertain herself in an appropriate way rather than touching the other students' objects. |

| Comments: I just don't see how this could help the ESE student and I feel like it is singling her out to the rest of the class. |

| Comments: I feel like this is rude towards the ESE student, and giving the wrong message towards the other students if you told them they will get a "point" if they can "ignore" her and do their work. |

| Comments: This is not something I would do. I would not reward the other students at the expense of another student. When praising students it is important to never compare one student against another. |

| Comments: I think it is important that the teacher reward the other students to stay focused and on tasks when one student is attempting to be a distraction. |
