Synopsis:

Exceptionally practical, this book combines theoretical background with case studies and numerous examples to demonstrate how to apply behavior management techniques in general and special educational settings. Examines the field from four points of view -- behavioral, psychodynamic, biophysical, and environmental. Focuses on the integrative/ecological approach to behavior management which provides a framework for combining various strategies into a cohesive implementation plan. Contains the most recent information on modifications in federal law passed by Congress and signed by President Clinton in 1997 regarding learners with disabilities. Includes skill-building projects in every chapter. Offers worksheets and forms which demonstrate how properly handled paperwork improves instruction. For new and prospective general and special education teachers.

From the Publisher: Written in non-technical language, this text combines clearly- presented theoretical background with numerous case studies and actual examples of behavior management to create a clear, comprehensive examination of the field from four established points-of-view: Behavioral, psychodynamic, biophysical, and environmental. Its goal is to provide special educators--as well as paraprofessionals and parents--a thorough, practical guide for the application of behavior management techniques in special education classrooms, in regular classrooms, and at home.
