  Case: Special education services under certification as emotionally impaired
Doug is a fifth grade student. He is of average size and height for his grade. Doug receives special education services under certification as emotionally impaired. Doug has a variety of behaviors that he exhibits throughout the day on a daily basis. He typically has a lot of energy and spends time each time going to the RTC room at school – Responsible Thinking Classroom. On one particular day, Doug in his general education class and he is repeatedly getting out of his seat. His teacher (whom you will respond as –either as yourself or critiquing his/her "interventions)has repeatedly instructed him to remain seated, but every 3 to 5 minutes Doug either makes an attempt to get up and sharpen his pencil, get a drink, or squirm about in his chair. What is next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think what should be done next, is to pull him out of class and speak with him about why he is always getting out of his seat. I would tell him he can keep a water bottle at his desk if he's thirsty all the time. If this does not work, then I would try a parent teacher conference.

Comments: The solution is wrong for this situation. You have to keep in mind he is emotionally impaired so making threats may not be the correct answer for the situation. Have him sharpen his pencils at the beginning of class, let him have a water bottle.... implement a routine in your class for him so their are no disruptions during teaching times.

Comments: I agree that speaking to the student privately should be the first step and the a more severe action taken if the behavior continues, easy to implement and will most likely solve the problem.
