1:1 withdefiant kid also severley imapaired where to draw line when to get annoyed when to emphazie confused

Question

conflicting signals from other teachers parents

Answer 1

well it depends on the child and his personality and strengths.   You have to evaluate weather he's being defiant for the sake of being defiant or because he is frustrated and can't grasp the task at hand. When he's frustrated, you need to provide support for him, make he understand it's okay to get it wrong and try to get him to understand what the right "answer" is. When he's being defiant for the sake of being defiant, just discipline him.

Answer 2

I'm sorry, there really isn't enough information here to help you. Could you let us know disability, how they are defiant, what overall abilities are, what they are doing? I would be happy to give you suggestions if you give me some more information
