  Case: ASD Children with IEP plans
Mrs. Summer's class is filled with ASD and ESE students, each with there own IEP plan. One student, when faced with a task he is unwilling to do, immediately starts acting out. His behavior then distracts the other students from their work and in turn other kids start making inappropriate noises and behaviors. The teacher aide then takes the boy from the class to start his calm down regiment. At what point is taking the boy from the classroom hindering his own ability to learn?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I do not think the questions is at what point is taking the student from the class hindering his ability to learn, but at what point is his behavior hindering his ability to learn. I think the strategies in place for removing him and allowing him to calm down are coming from the behavior issue, and this is necessary.The behavior cannot be ignored, but also the teacher needs to look at their strategies in the class with instruction. So what needs to be looked at is his interests, what motivates him, etc to plan strategies for him to be engaged in learning and doing tasks.
