How do you know the difference between receptive language disorder and a student disregarding what you're saying

Ask the student to repeat what they were just asked to do. If they are able to explain the task, or directions and are not following through they may be disregarding the directive to try to escape the activity. If they are unable to explain the directions, this may be a sign that they did not understand the task.

How do you communicate needs when the child is not sure what he/she needs?

—

Use visuals to support language if that is what is impeding communication. If the student does now know what their needs are, this is a teach piece from the teacher using evidence based strategies.

How do we treat them the same when they have special accommodations?

—-

We remove ourselves from the atmosphere as much as possible to allow students to participate in their general education classroom while monitoring their learning and providing support when needed.

How do you teach personal space, when maybe they aren’t getting that attention from home. They get up from their desk just to give you a hug.

—

You could teach and support the implementation of the replacement behavior of asking for a hug. If the student gets up from their desk seeking a hug, they could request one using their preferred method of communication.

How do we cover their minutes when they have a task to complete and it is interrupted by a behavior thus going unfinished by the time the minutes are up and we have to transition to the next task?

—

This is a great conversation opportunity with the case manager. If the student begins engaging in behavior, their schedule could stop until they are regulated again. When calm, the student would re-engage with the original demand. If this would impede with other student schedules that you are supporting, communicate with teachers on the best coverage plan so the demand can be followed through.

A student with communication difficulties, is crying, screaming and rolling on the floor, what strategies can come handy?

There are a variety of strategies that can be provided here but it comes down to the function of the behavior. Why are they displaying this behavior?

2024-09-03 15:37:09 UTC

When a student wants any kind of reaction whether it be the student they are bothering or the teacher/para, how can we help break that behavior of poking fun at the other student for that reaction? The part that is most difficult is that if the other student does what they’re supposed to and verbally tells the student to give them space and please stop, the student bothering them gets the reaction they want and if we as teachers/paras step in, they again get what they want.

This would be a great opportunity to practice planned ignoring. This is where we plan to ignore the undesired behavior. Other students and staff will all need to be participating in this planned ignoring. You can also use visual barriers to separate the student form others if necessary.

I really like the building relationships slide. That is helpful to remember.

Just note that there is a typo on the bottom for "environment" to be fixed. :)

I am glad you will find that helpful- it was an image we did not create - therefore cannot be edited :(
