  Case: Distracting Student
I have a student in my internship who acts out when things don't go her way or when she doesn't receive praise for her good deeds. She will crawl on the floor, make disruptive noises, and refuse to comply with the teacher. What are some ways I can help this situation? My teacher has tried a lot of strategies.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
A behavior chart might work wonders with this student. Throughout the day, keep track of the students willingness to comply and behave in the classroom. Have an incentive/reward for the student for going all week without breaking the classroom rules or being disobedient or disrespectful to the teacher. With students with this disposition, it can be quite difficult to narrow down what will work with them. If she is showing signs of a disability, I would recommend discussing with the teacher whether or not it is time to start collecting for this student and writing up paperwork for her.

Comments: You made several good points, I do think the reward for good behavior after a week will be the best bet because you stated that she does want praise.
