More Behavior Solutions in and Beyond the Inclusive Classroom: A Must-Have for Teachers and Other Educational Professionals!

Erica Purdy said Must have for teachers. I am not a teacher, but I am a mother of a 5yr old that was just diagnosed with Asperger's. At the beginning of the school year, we were in the process of having him tested for it, but we didn't have a formal diagnosis. So, I had a talk with the teacher to inform her of what we were in the process of doing. Of course, since there wasn't a diagnosis (yet) from a doctor, they had to treat my son like he was a normal child. In other words, since they had no idea how to handle him, to them he was acting out and they treated him like he was a trouble maker and I had to frequently pick him up from school. Frustrated, I started looking for informat. Great ideas This books offers many great ideas for dealing with a lot of issues I have had with my son. I always thought of myself as someone who thinks outside the box, but the author really had some easy solutions that I had not thought of which surprised me. It was nice to be able to use many of these solutions and have them work and work quickly!. KENT MASON said Great book. For anyone out there who works with children with behavior issues, this is a much needed book. I bought the first book "Behavior Solutions for the Inclusive Classroom" and knew there was a second, but the local bookstore did not have it. For my job, I work with children with behavioral issues. This book gives you, the teacher, great ways to handle behavior issues and better understand the behavior itself. This book was recommended to me by someone in our district and I highly recommned it as well.
