Quickly find an in-the-moment solution!

Now more than ever, states are mandating that children with special needs be included in the general education classroom. As a result, all educational professionals, from teachers to administrators, need specific training on how to handle unusual behaviors.

This book builds on the success of the first one by expanding the focus from within the classroom to all areas of the school environment—in the hallways, cafeteria, auditorium, on the playground, and in therapy sessions during the school day. See a particular behavior? Look it up!

Director of special education Peter Gennaro, occupational therapist Beth Aune, and special needs mom and advocate Beth Burt collectively address and solve problematic behaviors relating to:

Leaving the classroom without permission

Lack of focus in whole group instruction

Out-of-seat behavior

In-seat behavior

Difficulty completing independent work

Meltdowns

Difficulty organizing materials

Classroom celebrations

Unsafe or inappropriate use of equipment

“Aggressive” behavior on the playground or during P.E.

Difficulty joining in group activities/isolating

Challenges with turn-taking

Being a poor sport

And many others!
