Students become involved in the disciplinary process due to their behavior. Below are links to information about problematic behavior and ways to help students. |
When students receiving special education services misbehave in a consistent and persistent manner, a meeting should be called to address the behavior and brainstorm interventions to correct the behavior. Often it helps to label the behavior--that's where the definitions come in. Below are just a few of many links that offer descriptions of behavioral disorders/ problems, and offer possible solutions.
