  Case: ODD Student Issues
I have one student who has been diagnosed with Opposition Defiant Disorder. She will flat out refuse to do work and will not listen to instructions given to her. When warned or given consequences, she simply replies with "I don't care." and it doesn't seem like she does, to be honest. We've tried taking away certain privileges, as well as lunch detentions and written referrals. What would you suggest to help deal with this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Try using positive incentives instead of taking things away. Give her something to work for, that she wants. Computer time, outside time, etc.

Comments: This may improve the situation, but if she has ODD, there may be more that needs to be done. This would be one thing along with many others that would need to happen.

Comments: I agree. Giving the student incentives and making sure to praise the student on days where they exhibit positive behavior is very important.
