When he is asked to keep working he becomes combative and starts to exhibit inappropriate behavior. What would work to calm Myles and keep him on task with his assignment? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think that it would be a good idea to set Myles up with a reward system. You have to find something that he really wants in order to make it worth his while. When he becomes frustrated, have him stop and take a break before things escalate. try to find different ways to present the material to Myles so that he is better able to understand it.
