Student outbursts can disrupt a positive classroom environment. Special educators and collaborative teaching teams need to be trained in handling students who may sometime present disruptive behaviors due to manifestations of their disabilities. Through a dynamic PowerPoint and audiovisual presentation, participants are offered hands-on, evidence based strategies that have proven effective in today's special education and collaborative classrooms. These strategies include teaching style and delivery, using praise as a reward, using counseling techniques with the disruptive student, developing visual supports and schedules for students presenting ADD/ADHD, and enlisting help from other professionals. The workshop offers participants the opportunity to explore the works of seminal behavior theorists and educational psychologist such as B.F. Skinner, Rudolf Dreikurs, and Lee Canter. Participants are offered effective teaching styles in role playing situations that illustrate the effects of positive teacher engagement. The participants in this presentation have taught or will teach children who may exhibit disruptive behavior caused by (a) specific learning disabilities, (b) speech or language impairments, (c) intellectual disability, (d) emotional or behavioral disorders, (e) other health impairments, (f) or other disabilities combined.
