A Cluster of Behavior Problems

[Guest guest]

I am not teaching summer school but I

still get calls about my students behavior problems. C. has always

been a trial but this summer he is on 20. C. is a 16 year old, barely

verbal autistic young man. He has several behaviors that are

problematic in a classroom situation. He digs feces out of his anus

and smears it on his clothes and desk. He screams continually. He

throws things at others and spits on them. I suspect these behaviors

are worse than usual because summer school is located in a different

room and he has a different teacher. But I know I will have all this

to deal with when I come back in the fall. Oh, C. also touches women

and girls inappropriately at every opportunity.

He is on meds for depression and is being given neural feedback therapy

twice a week.

Any ideas?
