Administrators and practitioners often struggle with chronic physical, social or verbal aggression from disabled and nondisabled students. Whether or not the misbehavior is a manifestation of the child's disability, you need to develop interventions that reduce future occurrences when disciplinary measures are unsuccessful. But how do you respond effectively, and in a legally defensible manner, when nothing seems to be working?
In this recorded audio conference, behavioral expert Diana Browning Wright gives you a rubric for understanding aggression and applying it to behavioral issues. In this strategy-packed session you'll also learn:
- Working definitions for aggression and how to distinguish the two primary deficits that result in aggressive behaviors
- Strategies based on understanding the two primary deficits
- How to apply the rubric logic to design interventions that are time-efficient and effective -- and maintain the least restrictive setting
- When you should consider increasingly restrictive settings over altering the existing setting
- When the pattern of aggression suggests "child find" is necessary to determine if a disability is present
- And more
