[QUOTE="ASLteacher, post: 403956, member: 11054"] Wow! Thanks so much for the kind words and support. I ordered the mood book from amazon. I was actually looking for that exact same thing (well, the poster of it) at the beginning of the year for a health lesson, but didn't know who made it or what exactly it was called, so thanks for that. Well, I got stood up again by the behavioral specialist yesterday, and he flipped out on me again today because someone stole a dollar that he wasn't supposed to have anyway. I had to send my other students to another classroom so that I could deal with him as he was dumping desks over, rifling through all of my papers, pulling things out of my cabinets and accusing everyone, including me, of stealing his money. The principal called the behavioral specialist and she said she would be there next Tuesday at 10:30. We'll see. As for the questions...yes, he has an IEP. He also has a behavior plan that I had to pull out of my *** because I've never had to write one before, and had no idea what I was doing. The only support I got in writing it was "Yeah, that looks fine". Now I don't really know how to implement it. I've reviewed his records from his previous schools, mainly notes on his behavior...he has always been in a room with an aid (until me), and had been frequently physically restrained. I have never done that to him. He has a file with Children's services. I have called a few times. We are getting a pastoral counselor one or two days a week, and she is going to try play therapy with him. She also said that they may be able to get a case worker to come in to class and work with him. That would be wonderful. The resolutions I want to see are 1) he gets moved to a class that focuses primarily on behavior, 2) an aid comes in to work with him and can supervise him when he decides to leave the class without permission, deal with his outbursts so I can teach the others, and keep him focused, or 3) pay for additional training for me to be able to deal with him (the extent of my training is a 5 week summer course on behavioral management, and we didn't get in to anything this severe). Realistically, I don't think any of the above will happen. I have some questions for you: do any of you have children with-ODD in behavioral classes (ED or something like it), or are they in "regular" Special Education or gen Ed? What kinds of supports do their teachers get in order to deal with the extreme behaviors? How does their ODD affect their academic skills? And at what point does the welfare of the other kids in the class matter? Because it sure doesn't seem to matter much here.
