My concern are for the other students because not only does he do these things to them but anyone can be a target when he gets upset. He loves to break glass and he throws objects heavy objects his parents doesn't seem to be concerned about the other children they just want to make sure their child isn't in any danger when it comes to redirecting him, how would you handle this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Assessing behavior and getting ready for situations are two ways to respond successfully to hostility and violence. Some of these include completing functional assessments, identifying the indicators of a violent episode, and creating individual crisis management strategies. To ascertain what purpose an aggressive or violent behavior serves for the student (what benefit is derived from the act), what environmental or physical factors are connected to the display of the behavior, and what communicative or other responses might be functionally equivalent, functional assessment is a prescriptive approach. For example, suppose a student receiving special education services or is being assessed for eligibility engages in violent, aggressive, or other dangerous behavior. In that case, functional evaluation. Also, recognizing the antecedents to help prevent the undesirable behavior. Analyzing the causes and effects of behavior is crucial for behavior understanding and modification. Understanding a behavior's antecedents gives us knowledge of the conditions under which it was rewarded and prevented.
