I feel like what she is doing is a disaster waiting to happen, but by the same token I respect her position in the classroom. Now I have worked with this situation on so many occasions where if you want the student to do something that is causing disruption you offer them candy or cookies, to me behaviors are learned and I feel like these children know if they disrupt the class to get them to stop the behavior they are offered a treat. What I see is the child getting more aggressive when they want the treat so they start doing more disturbing behaviors to get it, while she makes the excuse that their meds are making them like that. What should be done so she can see the bigger picture? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Although this is a tough situation, I think the best thing to do would be to slowly stop rewarding the child for acting out. It seems like the rewarding good behavior system is not being implemented properly. I would sit down with the student and CT and discuss the reason the rewards are being taken away and that possibly in the future we can discuss them coming back.
