  Case: Too many reminders?
I am working in an SVE classroom this semester with middle school students. One of our students with Autism has a problem with becoming very silly at time, and can be very noisy and disruptive. We have come up with positive reinforcements that he really wants to work for, but he still needs reminders at times. To me, it does not hurt to give a student reminders that he needs to control himself, but when do you draw the line and try another option? The student has been able to re-diret himself and get back on task, and I would much rather have that then have to have him removed from the classroom for being disruptive.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Once a child is removed from the classroom, they miss valuable instruction. Reminders are okay to help a student become better at self-control; therefore, a plan can include a specific duration and frequency. It should be progressive where each week or day fewer reminders will occur without a needs improvement mark on the behavior report; it would depend on the student. Make the student aware that you are really trying to help him maintain success with self-correction as he develops more self-control. Realistically, you may give the child a maximum of two reminders and find a way to recognize the appropriate behaviors so consequences are positive not punitive.
