"Jose": Both Hearing Impaired and Emotionally Impaired. Very defiant but passively aggressively so... like you tell him not to do something and he'll do it anyway--as he looks at you and smiles. Can't move on after a real or imagined unfairness/insult/issue. Frequently tries to leave my room and walk off school grounds.
"Thomas": Both Hearing Impaired and Emotionally Impaired. Severe ADHD and is on meds. Unfortunately, these don't kick in until mid-morning. He goes from being uncontrollable to a total wallflower.
"Brandon": Hearing Impaired. Overly sensitive. As in he will completely shut down so that you can't get him to participate or even look at you for 20+ minutes all because you had the nerve to NOT call on him when he had his hand raised. Frequently bursts into tears over things like: "He didn't let me borrow his eraser"
"Martha": Hearing Impaired and Cerebral Palsy. No behavior issues here, she's just really low and needs a lot of attention and help to do any sort of task.
I have been through two behavior plans already that have clearly not worked. Both have been based on taking things away and losing privileges. But tomorrow I'm trying something new: The Token Economy. Anytime they show desired behavior, they will get a token. They will have a chance to spend their tokens every day or save up for something big. The ultimate plan is to phase out the tokens. I usually don't like behavior plans this involved, but I'm dealing with some, ahem, special kids here.
So I spent some of my weekend getting my "store" together:
Like it? I hope the kids will and that it won't take them long to buy into the system!

That looks AWESOME!! I will pray that all of your hopes and dreams come true, and that your students will understand how to behave better (and why it's important) as you wean them off of the tokens. How long do you suppose you'll try this? Give us an update this week :)
I like it!!! Hey, I'm a firm believer in bribes (up to a point) YOU came out OK for it!! Mom
As a firm behaviorist and graduate of acclaimed behavior university in the '70s (have you guessed who yet) I want to applaud your efforts so far. Just a heads up, it didn't take long to ween your husband off the token economy we put him. He quit biting his arm and banging his head after a month or two...
Check regular ed postings periodically...
Sarah your store looks great! I'll bet you will see a big change--most of us prefer to work towards tangible, readily achievable rewards!

I hope it works! Some kids need instant gratification. Whatever works!
