  Case: Body Control
I have a child who cannot control his body. He moves in his chair and likes to stand instead of sitting. When we walk in line through the halls, he stretches arms and legs outside the bounds of the line and has bumped other students before. He likes basketball and his movements mimic fake outs and dribbling. So far I have only acknowledged his actions through oral reprimands. But the behavior continues, what are recommended next steps.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a class rule about sitting still during class, staying focused and not distracting other students. Also I would have a particular way the students are supposed to walk in the hallways. I have seen students had to walk with "tail feather." They had to have their hands behind their back forming a tail feather like a bird. Also, most times a reprimand will not solve the problem long term so it is a good idea to have a reward/consequence system.

Comments: Some students cannot sit still for long periods of time. As an adult, I have difficulty sitting for more than an hour without moving my legs or rocking. Giving the students frequent breaks to move around would help this student more than asking him to do something he cannot do.
