Behavior Solutions for the Inclusive Classroom: See a Behavior? Look it Up!
Author(s): Beth Aune-Nelson
Parenting Pregnancy Childbirth
State after state is mandating that children with special needs be included in general education classroom. This is great for the student, but teachers are not being trained how to handle unusual behaviors. Disruptive behavior is distracting for students and teachers, so teachers need to know what to do, right away. This book serves that purpose, plus provides extra guidance so the teachers can prevent the behavior from recurring and research the behavior further. Each year there is a growing emphasis on the inclusion of students with special needs into the general education population. Some students may come with a diagnosis: Learning Disability, Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, or ADHD. Others may not, leaving teachers unsure how to teach them. This book is a tool for teachers who have a student or students in their classroom whose behaviors are impeding their learning. If they see a particular behavior, they can quickly look up an in-the-moment solution, and then read more about what could be causing that behavior. A must-have for every inclusive classroom!
