Asked by CaptainFreedom6264

Chris is a seventeen-year-old student with a long history of learning and behaviour problems. Although he speaks English at school, he is an English Language Learner. Spanish is the primary language used in his home. His initial eligibility for special education services was under Speech and Language Impairment. However, in the eighth grade when academic progress remained poor, his eligibility was changed to specific learning disability. As he entered high school, his performance declined further, and it was noted that he was sensitive about his learning challenges, social deficits, and cultural differences. Chris was assigned a behavioural aide, but soon after, he began to demonstrate self-injurious behaviour and aggression towards the aide and other students. He is now eligible for special education under the category of emotional disturbance. 

 

Recently, his teacher has noticed that Chris is increasingly withdrawn, and often sits alone listening to his iPod. He rarely completes his work, has a short attention span, dresses in menacing attire, and seeks little social interaction. If his aide nags him, he will sit at his desk, but do very little. If physically prompted, he will become aggressive, throwing materials and shoving staff or students in his proximity. When this happens, his behaviour support aide and teacher use an approved method – two-person control (immobilizing both arms and restricting mobility) to prevent him from harming anyone, while another adult removes the other students. This is occurring about two times per week. Despite Chris’ problem behaviours, his teacher reports that he often volunteers to do helpful things in the classroom such as watering plants, collecting materials, and assisting a classmate in a wheelchair. He also enjoys helping the office staff by delivering mail, organising the nurse’s office, and handing out hall passes to other students.

 

Chris is required to undertake some group work that requires him to move from his desk to an outdoor space.  He is reluctant to move.  His aide touches him and tells him that he must move outside.  Chris starts to stand up and creates a fist.  He is about to punch the aide who is standing next to three students.  The teacher and the aid use the two-person control (immobilizing both arms and restricting mobility).
