  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!)
I would try and find out what her triggers are. What activities does she avoid, what does she like, and at what point does the defiance seem to come out. Maybe it is something happening in class that you are unaware of. Pay close attention to her good days and see what is different in her bad days. Take notes on her behavior based on facts, not your feelings.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. Triggers can be a huge reason behind many children's behaviors, and by finding them early you can try and find activities to avoid in order to reduce (or even eliminate) the disruptive behavior.
