Education

This text emphasizes proven, classroom-based strategies for the assessment, management, and resolution of problem behaviors, better preparing preservice teachers for working with these students.

Geared to the practical concerns of educators of students with behavior disorders, this text provides a balanced, data-based presentation of the best practices in the field. The authors identify specific problem behaviors as the primary points of reference to set the stage for a discussion of intervention alternatives, giving students detailed, targeted strategies for working with students. A brief review of the nature and characteristics of students with behavior disorders and a clear link between assessment and intervention offers students a classroom-friendly introduction to the subject.

• Contains unique chapters on developing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and teaching academic skills to students with behavior disorders (Chs. 6 & 11), providing reinforcement of a key skill for Special Education teachers.

• Two chapters dealing with the identification and assessment of problem behaviors (Chs. 4 & 5) give students a complete picture of the range of behaviors found.

• Provides a range of interventions for specific problem behaviors (Chs. 7-10, & 12), preparing students to work with students of varying abilities.

• Focuses on current issues such as drug- and alcohol-exposed children and culturally sensitive assessment, connecting relevant societal issues with classroom practice.

• Multiple chapters review the characteristics of students with behavioral disorders, so students get the big picture.

• New chapter on the design of comprehensive, school-wide management systems provokes discussion of the best behavior management practices (Ch. 12) and prepares students to work in a positive behavioral environment.

• Contains up-to-date information throughout the text on new federal initiatives, alternative definitions, legislation and litigation involving students with behavior disorders, and keeping students current on their rights and responsibilities in the classroom.

• Students are kept current with redesigned content on Low-Incident Behavior Disorders consistent with new APA/DSM IV-R standards (Ch. 3).

• A new listing of ways to functionally assess students with behavioral disorders (Chs. 4, 5 & 6) is useful for students in hands-on settings.

• An increased emphasis on classroom-based instructional strategies—a frequently overlooked factor in other behavioral disorders texts—broadens the scope of real-world application.
