Case: Distracting Laughter
I am currently interning in a high school ESE class and there is a student in my class that starts laughing hysterically in the middle of lessons. My CT usually sends them outside (we have courtyard outside the classroom) to calm down. It rarely works though and the student still ends up laughing hysterically. It is very distracting when I am teaching and to the other students. Any ideas on how to control them?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The first thing you need to do is determine if this behavior is resulting from something related to their own exceptionalities. If that is the case, then the way that you proceed, is going to depend on how you should proceed, based on their specific needs laid out in their IEP. Once that is complete, if it is not outlined in their IEP, you could try to talk to the student prior to class, to determine what might be triggering them to behave this way in the middle of the lessons. Creating that connection with the student, might curb the behavior but also give you insight, as to this specific student's needs while in your class. There are so many reasons why the student may be laughing but I think asking them is a good place to start, then you can create a plan based on that information. |

Comments: I think this is a good solution. It is important to determine what is causing the laughter. Is it a way for the student to cope with certain sensory inputs? Maybe it is a result of something within the disability itself and not means of distracting. |

Comments: I like that this solution utilizes realistic solutions, like checking the student's IEP and creating a connection with the student. Also, understand that students with disabilities are in their own world sometimes and are joyful :) I know it can be distracting, but following this solution would definitely start a way to help make it better. I would use this solution! Great help. |
