  Case: Student Hiding Under Desk
There is one student in the general education classroom who tends to get off task. He is constantly hiding under his desk when I am teaching and it causes distribution in the classroom. I do not want to stop the class session to correct his behavior and sometimes he does not even listen when I do. What are the solutions for this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would pull the student aside during downtime to ask why they choose to act that way. Some students will tell you what is going on. I would also check the students surroundings as well and around what time they begin to act out. I had a student act out at a certain time everyday and I found out it was because he was always anxious and needed to be on time for class or lunch. If we did not leave when he wanted to, he would begin to get anxious.
