I believe that utilizing the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Assessment will provide a clearer picture of Scott. The Vineland test would be the most appropriate test to give Scott because the Vineland test is used to measure “personal and social skills from birth to adulthood” (Manohari, Raman, & Ashok, 2013). It is important to note that Scott is in 1st grade and there is very limited academic pattern for him. Taking this assessment will allow teachers and parents to obtain a greater interpretation of Scott. The assessed adaptive behavior done by Vineland is communication, living skills, socialization, and motor. According to the case study these are also the domains in which the parents and teachers have concerns. Because there is a family history of ADHD Vineland remains an appropriate choice of assessment because it addresses intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. Vineland also provides “educational and treatment plans” (Manohari, Raman, & Ashok, 2013). Therefore, it is necessary that all aspects of a student development are looked at in order to make a n appropriate diagnosis. “This includes language, social skills, attention, behavior, mood, academic skills, social skills, play skills and motor skills” (Manohari, Raman, & Ashok, 2013). Having a thorough assessment allows for all areas of development to be addressed to obtain a clear picture of the student. Because Scott sensory processing is a concern these difficulties interfere with his participation in classroom activities, interaction with peers and staff, emotional and behavioral control and attending

The Behavior Assessment System for Children, Third Edition (BASC 3) is a comprehensive set of rating scales and forms that help parents, teachers, and clinicians understand the behaviors and emotions of children and adolescents. The BASC 3 Rating Scales measures both adaptive and clinical characteristics in the home and school settings. The Parent Rating Scales and Teacher Rating Scales were completed by Christopher’s mother Mrs. Chavez and Christopher teacher, Ms. Mask. Scores in the table below, are based on a Mean of 50 and an SD of 10.

In school, Jayson is very respectable towards his teachers and other adults and he is a very sweet young man. Although, he struggles to maintain relationships with his peers and has outbursts often in class. Socially he becomes frustrated easily, which affects his ability to engage and interact with his peers. During class, he has expressed extreme angry towards his peers and an uncontrollable emotion. He is continuously plagued by his unsettling and hostile behavior, which causes him to act irrationally. His inability to cope and manage his behavior during classroom instruction results in breaking the classroom rules. For example, in the classroom Jayson yells out he is not doing his daily classwork. Then, he rips up the daily worksheet and storms out of the classroom. Another example, in class he is constantly reminded not to call out if he would like to share- out. Due to his “behavioral and emotional”

This article offers strategies for teachers to use to help their most challenging students with behavioral issues. One of the authors is a child psychiatrist who works with at-risk children and the other is a behavior analyst and special educator. Their approach is based on the premise that educators can only control certain elements in the classroom and their own behavior when it comes to students with challenging behavior. The created the acronym FAIR:”F is for understanding the function of the behavior, A is for accommodations, I is for interaction strategies, and R is for responses” (2). The function of behavior can include escaping from something, obtaining a tangible thing, engaging in sensory activities, and getting attention. These functions are the benefits the student gets from the behavior. The escape motivated behavior happens when a student tries to avoid a “task, demand, situation, or person” (3). The tangible behavior occurs when the student wants to get objects like money or feed or something else they want. Sensory behavior happens when a student tries to get the attention of an adult or classmate. This can occur when the student is “bellergent, screaming, or continually interrupting the teacher” (3). Negative attention can reinforce attention-seeking behavior because it is better than nothing and the student may prefer it because it is more predictable than positive attention. Taking ABC

Verbal prompts, redirection to remain focused on a given task, minimize outdoor play, reduced iPad games and parent meeting. The results of interventions are diverse. Adriel would respond to previous intervention such as less outdoor play and parent meeting by behaving in class and follow directions for outdoor play for the first two days of the week and then the behavior occurs again. Verbal prompting often works for the first 2 minutes and then the behavior occurs again. The support and one-to-one attention given from the staff during transitions decreased the incidents of noncompliance, pushing and yelling. The staff will model, role play, practice and discuss all these intervention strategies to support Adriel. He will be given attention when he shows replacement behaviors.

Rad Korsaski is an 11-year old male student with parental instability and documented Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). After reviewing Rad’s records from previous schools, I learned Rad often missed school or skipped school. Even though Rad was disruptive and often inattentive, I could see he was smarter than his records indicated. Though Rad’s father and his record states he’d been diagnosed with ADHD, even with medication he often displayed significant difficulties with poor attention, impulsivity and overactive/inappropriate behaviors. Though having ADHD was a contributing factor to his conduct, Rad showed more frequently, and more severe rates of inappropriate behaviors than those exhibited by his peers. He is very

School-age children(7-11 Years) have poor school performance. The child finds studying and learning difficult when the child cannot stop worrying about what happened at home the night before or who is going to get hurt that night, or maybe even killed later on. The child will also have behavior problems with peers and adults. Because of the lack of observable
