  Case: Outbursts and Behavior Plans
Mrs. Bradley has a student with an IEP for behavior. The students behaviors can be so severe that it impairs the student's academic performance. When the student is upset, the plan calls for time to calm down and relocation until mood has changed. Whenever the student is asked to complete a task the student does not like, the students claims to be upset and leaves the room. Other students are taking notice, and have mentioned special treatment is shown the other student. Without infringing on the student's right to privacy, what should Mrs. Bradley say to other students when this occurs?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that the teacher could have had an activity at the beginning of the year to help students to explore what they do in certain situations how they react, what they need do when frustrated, what calms them down etc. Explain to them that different people react to things in different ways and we need to be accepting and considerate of others especially in the classroom, where some may exhibit different behaviors. This can still be implemented after the fact in this case.

Comments: Educating all students in the classroom will help this students peers better understand why he/she is allowed to leave. Doing this at the beginning of the year will allow the student with the IEP to not be singled out because at that point, no other students will have noticed their ability to leave when they become upset.

Comments: Having an activity at the beginning of the year is a great solution that I would incorporate into my classroom. It allows the student to be able to reflect on their reactions and needs in different situations and understand what is and is not acceptable.
