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!)
Find a space and an outlet for the student to release the frustrations. Create incentives to using the coping mechanism and not hurting themselves. Do not give extra attention for the misbehavior as to take in to account of what the classroom teacher says but find a way for the student to find another physical outlet. Stress balls, going into the hall for jumping jacks or sprints or an area away from watching peers. |

Comments: I think it is great to give this student space. Allow them to take short breaks if they need it to breathe and calm down. |
