She speaks her mind without a filter, she has trouble with physical control and her voice level. At times, when she loses control she ends up hurting a friend's feelings or accidently hits them. When I talk to her about what happened she doesn't have any reasons for why it happened and she cries if her friend is mad at her. She attempts control for a little while after, but then resorts to her old ways. Any ideas on how to help her? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think impulse control is a manifestation of a larger problem. It sounds like the student understands the consequences of her actions, but genuinely has no control over them. I would test the student for an LD or MD. As a teacher in a room full of other students, it is next to impossible to give this one student the help she truly needs.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I feel like contacting a behavior specialist or counselor in the school would be beneficial for finding out if there is a larger problem at hand.
