ISSUE(S) TO BE ADDRESSED:

The referring teacher described Daniels behaviors that needs to be addressed:

When Daniel is requested to do something, he does not want to do, he will refuse, cry or yell at
the adult. He is a very capable student but will often refuse to do any writing assignments. He
will blame the teacher or the class for being too noisy even when everyone is quiet and on task.

His primary issues exist outside of the classroom. During unstructured time, Daniel impulsively
mistreats other children by hitting, kicking, pushing or biting. He lashes out at other students if
they touch his book bag or bump into him as he does not perceive these minor incidents as
accidents. Dan does not know how to let people know what he wants or needs in an appropriate
manner.

He does not take responsibility for his actions. He becomes very argumentative whenever he is
corrected. He will blame others by saying nobody at the school likes him.

WHAT STRATEGIES HAS THE REFERRING TEACHER ALREADY TRIED?:
During circle time, Daniel sits on a chair on the peripheral of the circle where he is
close enough to participate but not touching other children
He keeps his belongings in an alternate area outside of the common cloakroom so others
do not accidently touch his possessions.
When he completes a written assignment, he is rewarded with some computer time.

Brainstorming:


. The Guidance counselor will take Daniel on a
regular basis and do social stories with him
that involve direct instruction for appropriate
behavior.

The SIW will include Dan in the Volcano
Group which is an anger management program
for young children.

A lunchtime Lego club will be initiated and
Dan could take on a leadership role.
A reward/consequence point system (Do-Jo points)
could be implemented in the classroom.

The classroom teacher will keep a weekly behavior
tracking chart focusing on positive behaviors that
have been noted during the week and is sent home on
Friday.

As the biting/ hitting/ kicking is unacceptable and
disruptive to the positive learning environment, Dan
will receive an automatic one day In-School
Suspension for any aggressive acts
