  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!)
Many students with ODD have control issues that have developed for a variety of reasons, some of which can include inconsistent or unstable home environments. I would incorporate some control into the positive behavior plan. For example, perhaps this student could be in charge of handing back papers or collecting planners in the morning. This emphasis on being in control and having responsibility may work better than punishment.
