by Beth Aune, Beth Burt, Peter Gennaro

Quickly find an in‑the‑moment solution!

Now more than ever, states are mandating that children with special needs be included in the general education classroom. As a result, all educational professionals, from teachers to administrators, need specific training on how to handle unusual behaviors.

This book builds on the success of the first one by expanding the focus from within the classroom to all areas of the school environment - in the hallways, cafeteria, and auditorium, on the playground, and in therapy sessions during the school day. See a particular behavior? Look it up!

Director of special education Peter Gennaro, occupational therapist Beth Aune, and special needs mom and advocate Beth Burt collectively address and solve problematic behaviors relating to:
Leaving the classroom without permission
Lack of focus in whole group instruction
Out-of-seat behavior
In-seat behavior
Difficulty completing independent work
Meltdowns
Difficulty organizing materials
Classroom celebrations
Unsafe or inappropriate use of equipment
“Aggressive” behavior on the playground or during PE
Difficulty joining in group activities/isolating
Challenges with turn-taking
Being a poor sport
And many others!

This book has a few great ideas, I did find that it did get repetitious with the solutions after a bit into it though and for that I could only score it a 2.5-3 star.

This book is the ideal companion to the first book: Behavior Solutions for the Inclusive Classroom: See a behavior? Look it up!. The format is perfect for classroom teachers, paraprofessionals and other support staff, who often need a helpful idea quickly.

In this little book are some great strategies to address problem behaviors in a variety of school-related settings. The authors go beyond typical classroom issues to also discuss challenges that can arise in “specials” such as art, music, and library, as well as during other activities such as lunch, passing periods, and riding the bus. An entire section is even devoted to physical education and recess!
