  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!)
I would see if this behavior is resulting from their exceptionalities first. It might be worth it to talk the student one on one to understand why he is behaving this way if the laughter is not a result from an exceptionality.
