Abstract: (Show)
Focusing on today's realities in the schools and in society, this practical text will assist general and special education teachers in preschool through Grade 12 to recognize inappropriate conduct that may lead to academic under-achievement and emotional/ behavioral problems. A knowledge of the symptoms of such behavioral disorders can lead to appropriate interventions that reduce problem behavior, increase socially acceptable behavior, and improve academic performance---without ineffective punishment. Coverage examines common disorders such as autism and ADD/ADHD, along with such conditions as Tourette syndrome, gangs, eating disorders, depression, and others that may lead to learning and behavioral problems. The author presents the characteristics of each disorder, offers observable behaviors and assessment methods, and suggests postitve, proactive classroom management strategies designed to teach appropriate replacement skills for undesirable behaviors.
