In the last 15 to 20 years an increase in Oppositional Defiant Disorder has been reported. According to the Center for Disease Control, state that 4.5 million children ages 3 to 17 (7% of this age group) with ADHD has had an increase from a 1.4 million since 1997 (CDC Vital and Health Statistic September, 2007). Children are prom to be oppositional from time to time and it is a normal behavior when growing up especially during their development from two (what many parents called the terrible twos) to an early adolescent years. However, openly stubbornness and hostile behavior becomes a serious concern when it is so frequent and consistent that stand out when compare with other children of the same age and developmental level and when it affects the…
While it may seem as if a child’s challenging behavior serves no purpose other than to disrupt the classroom this is not the case. Challenging behavior always serves a purpose and meets a need that the child has. These needs include getting reinforcement (social or tangible) or escaping or avoiding a task or situation (Functional Behavior Assessment, 2001). The need that is being met by the challenging behavior must be identified in order to develop an appropriate, effective behavior support plan to address this challenging behavior and meet this need.…

| Tantrums are typically characterized by stubbornness, crying, screaming, yelling, shrieking, defiance, angry ranting, a resistance to attempts at pacification and, in some cases, violence. Physical control may be lost, the person may be unable to remain still, and even if the ‘goal’ of the person is met he or she may not be calmed.…

In my classroom I help children learn, understand, and use words to communicate. This is done by encouraging conversations throughout the classroom. I ask children about what they are doing and prompt them to explain in detail. Children are reminded to use their words to express themselves when they are having a difficult time communicating. When I have children that throw tantrums I get down to their eye level and give them the vocabulary to express themselves using short words sentences- “I understand that you are angry now”, then I given them words that they can use- “you do not…

Functional behavior assessments are important to teachers and students because I believe that all children behave a certain way for a reason. Children who have disabilities as well as children who do not have disabilities behave in inappropriate ways and a functional behavior assessment can help to determine why so that a plan can be developed to correct the behavior. Negative behavior is a reaction to something happening in a child's life or an imbalance in the child. A child with an imbalance will benefit from a functional behavior assessment because there is a good chance the imbalance could be found and corrected so that the behavior of the child will change. Not all imbalances are fixed by medicine but some can be and certainly do cause unwanted behaviors. The imbalances in children once they are realized from the results of a functional behavior assessment allows the parents and children to make changes to allow the child to behave in a more appropriate fashion. This is a self explanatory reason for the importance of functional behavior assessments.…

The majority of children/young people do not present challenging behavior, and they attend a range of educational settings in environments which are conducive to learning appropriate behaviors. It is essential to ensure that behavior which does not meet school/setting’s expectations, is responded to through management strategies that do not rely upon any form of physical or abusive intervention.…
