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!)
That is a tough one. Like you, I would much rather remind a student than have him out of class altogether. I think I would perhaps try to talk to the student after class and warn him that you are needing to remind him too often, and doing so disrupts the learning of the other students. Using the positive reinforcement, why not see if you can gradually lower the number of times that he needs to be reminded. Tell him that you will remind him, for example, only twice per day. If you must remind him more, he does not get the reinforcement. Then lower that threshold to once per day, and then none. If this does not work, you may need to find a more effective reinforcement. |

Comments: I like the idea of using positive reinforcement to correct the issue. Most students thrive on positive reinforcement but if this does not work consider talking to a specialist about some other possible solutions. |

Comments: I like this solution. I think this would be a very helpful idea. I may start with a few more warnings and work down to none but overall I agree. |

Comments: I agree that talking with the student and letting them know you are giving too much redirection is important. I would not use this solution, however, because I think the technique used is not effective. |
