First off there are diagnosed ASL needs, but mainstream school.
General challenging behaviour, possible oppositional defiance responses.
lots of allowances made, individual plans followed etc.
However, child in class of 30 7/8/9 yr old children and tries to dominate. There is violent behaviour and SLT generally available if that occurs. But throughout the day, is lots of low level defiance, at the moment me being told to shut up every time I try to speak to class or individually.
have tried ignoring, responding with don’t speak to me like that, I don’t talk like it to you, etc.
I really don’t know what to do, atm the rest of the class gasp and look to me for a reaction. Beyond reminding about manners respect etc which either don’t resonate or don’t matter with this child I have run out of ideas. Social stories are ignored.
Any ideas?
