On 1...See MoreHave not attending the training in NC. Have had some training in the principals. I like it. I think it really helps our students with autism to understand what they need to do, how much, when done and what to do next. We have less behaviors when we use this method. The down side is the amount of time it takes to create the materials.

I have an MI/Self-contained room. My problem is I have a student who has emotional/behavioral issues as well as being mentally impaired with ADHD to boot! I have tried every strategy known to man and have ignored negative, praised positive behaviors; been as quiet as a church mouse all the way up to a Hell Fire and Brimstone Teacher. We have offered rewards (if he will even go five minutes good) and nothing works. When he's in the room he is a disruption to students, refuses to work, and disrespectful to staff. However, when counselor or principal or vice principal come in, he plays this poor pitiful me routine. Today, I had a situation in which he stormed out my door....vp caught him...came into room and yelled at him and then screamed at me (in front of my kids I might add). Nothing is working and I am on my last fuse. When I talked with admin, I was told that I needed to give more breaks (my ? is what about structure) and that my kids will never be scholars....so........ On the other hand, I have also been told that my alternate assessment will count this year and I need to work even harder for scores to count.
By the way, this student is going to doctor tomorrow......he is not taking any meds.......of course, we've been told this many times before.
Thanks for your input....all advice greatly appreciated!
Beth Special Needs?Have you done an FBA on him. I would start there. That will help you narrow down behaviors to focus on in order of priority. I always choose safety issues first. Then develop and continue to refine a BIP. The process is time consuming, but can be worth it if you have a good team and good data.
Hi! I hope things are turning around. I'm kinda new to posting on this forum and out of desperation am now sitting here at the start of the holiday break, obsessing about my problem student and his behavior. I agree with Beth about the FBA. IF you haven't already, get with the diag bc I think it has to be requested through an ARD. A good BCBA specialist should spend at a minimum, a few hours a day with you in your class to put together the FBA and then a BIP.
I am planning to do MA in Hospitality & was searching colleges for it. As you know most of the colleges charge handsome money, but don't give the output and you can't judge them by a phone call or a visit. Is there any way to find out the genuine colleges...
