Where to Educate?

If you were a parent of a child diagnosed with a behavior problem caused by a neurological disorder such as bipolar, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder, would you want your child to be educated in the general classroom with typically-developing or non-disabled peers, or in a smaller, more restrictive environment where there is a smaller teacher-to-student ratio with other children who have similar disabilities?  Provide a rationale for your decision and use outside resources to support your perspective. List at least three intervention strategies you would use, as a teacher, to include this student in your classroom.  Be sure to write which age/grade-level you’ve chosen, along with the appropriate behavior intervention strategies.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your journal entries.
