I am currently a pre-service teacher seeking advice on this question. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How can I teach a student who is constantly having disruptive outbursts as a result of one’s disability?
Re: Disruptive Outbursts
Does the child have a behavior modification, if so this should have been started the first day. Because if it is not the child will basically run the classroom.
Re: Disruptive Outbursts
Tammi,
In response to your responce from Oct. ( you probably have forgotten it by now) but you are right. If children don’t have a behavior plan “they will run the class room.”
I am a new Para ( paraprofessional aka teachers aide…..does everyone use the term para now??) Anyway, I work in a Special ed class with 9 kids. Only 3 of them are rarely a problem. The others all need behavior mod. And esp. three of the boys (age 9)and one of the girls (age 7 ) who CANT stop talking.
I have little training in this and get very frustrated.
I understand ADD/ADHD but in practice it doesn’t help my frustration level.
The classroom teacher doesn’t seem to have a behavior plan for all the kids and behavior doesn’t seem to come first. Her voice gets louder as the day goes on. Oh, some of the kids get time out now and then, but two or three boys seem to dominate the class at least during some part of the day.
Is it her fault??? Does she need more training?

You can’t. The first thing you need to teach this child is that he/she can’t have disruptive outbursts. But to do that, you may have to make some accomodations for the disability.
Your post isn’t very clear. What is the disability that leads to the outbursts? How old is the child? How long have the outbursts been occuring and what educational placement does the child have?
