| Abstract: |
Students with persistent and significant challenging behaviors can sometimes be grouped into specific special education classrooms or even specialized schools based on specific disability categories. This practice presents both opportunities and challenges from a school psychologist's perspective. While this approach can allow for more focused behavioral interventions and access to specifically trained support staff, it can also limit students' exposure to inclusive, socially enriching environments where peers can model prosocial behaviors. School psychologists not only have a duty to ensure that they identify effective interventions but also that those interventions are manageable for the teacher and support staff to implement. Fundamental behavior-based strategies can help school psychologists guide teachers and paraprofessionals in stabilizing challenging environments and fostering meaningful opportunities for student growth. |
