When we line up always first in line and opens the door without being told causing other students to leave the room, he just basically does what he wants I redirect but it is the same thing everyday all day what should i do about this behavior? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I like to use the first/then or now/next with students in order to get them to do a desired task. "First you complete this task, then you can walk around the room." As long as the student is completing their work and not distracting others, it does not hurt to allow desired activities/behaviors. Always choose your battles wisely. The student might also feel uneasy sitting in their seat for long periods of time, so you could create break cards for them to use. Once all the break cards have been used for the day, the student will not be allowed to take a break. It would also be smart to establish rewards and consequences. If the student refused to do their work when asked, they do not get to be the line leader. Consistency is key when working with ESE students. Visuals are also great, such as break cards, timers, behavior chart, etc.
