Can you give me an idea of a specific goal that would "increase appropriate behavior"? He basically has a problem responding appropriately when something doesn't go his way, when he feels rejected, (if someone doesn't want to hang out with him at recess or wants to play something different) or if he thinks someone purposely bumped/tripped/spilled something on him, or if he thinks something is unfair or he doesn't get a run/hit/base/goal/etc. and thinks he should have. He has NEVER had an FBA or BIP.
Here is something I found online:
