  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!)
You can set up educational stations for him to roam and try telling him that if he needs to get up and walk around that he can visit those stations only and show him what activities are at that station. Some students need to roam and as long as he is not disrupting the class, I would allow it. I have a student who roams as well, we give him an IPAD with educational apps on it, if I give that to him, he will sit in the chair. Find something that he likes to keep him seated.
