  Case: EBD Behavior Issue
A male student in the 2nd grade is in a full inclusion classroom with a general and special education teacher. This student is very disruptive and has already been labeled EBD. He continue to disrupt the classroom by flipping over desk, chairs, throwing things, and being so disruptive the entire class has to stop. The teachers have had administration come into the classroom over ten times. Their response is always to try to calm the student down and provide positive discipline. His behavior may change for the moment but is never consistent. He should be placed in the EBD classroom but they do not want to move him in the middle of the school year.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First, you need to try and discover what is causing this student to be so frustrated. If it is this bad, I imagined there is already someone from the outside looking in, such as a school psychologist or a pediatrician. Next, try to build a relationship with this student. Gain his trust so he wants to perform for you. Some of the ways you can do this are by remaining calm when he throws fits, engaging in conversation with him, and giving him responsibilities such as passing out papers, picking up papers, cleaning up the classroom, etc.
