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!) Does this student have an FBA? I am curious, as the behavior is not avoided or ignored, it is dealt with head-on by bringing this student alone outside to just have the outburst. I am wondering about the route cause of this behavior. I suggest starting a Behavior Change Project on this student and collecting data based on the behaviors exhibited and what interventions you put into place. I think there needs to be a change adjusted so learning can happen for this student. I also suggest a quiet sign or visual in the form of velcro to the student's desk to remind them during lessons to remain quiet. These are just some possible solutions.
