Children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) display wide-ranging intellectual and behavioral abilities that affect daily life. We describe the educational setting of students with FXS and assess the relationships between school setting, co-occurring conditions, and functional ability using a national survey sample (n = 982). The majority of students…

The present study examined problem characteristics of students with emotional disturbance in 3 educational environments, the behavior management and intervention strategies their teachers used, and what relation exists between problem characteristics and intervention strategies. Teachers completed a behavior problems rating scale and they…

The elopement of a child with Asperger syndrome was assessed using functional analyses and was treated in two school settings (classroom and resource room). Functional analyses indicated that elopement was maintained by access to attention in the resource room and obtaining a preferred activity in the classroom. Attention- and tangible-based…

A half-day structured learning program for high school students unable to function adequately in mainstream settings is described. Key ingredients include a weekly student-staff meeting, goal setting and goal checking, behavioral checklists, group counseling in the form of a Human Relations course, and academic modifications.

The 3R program at Highland Park Junior High School (St. Paul, Minnesota) serves seventh to ninth grade students with maladaptive behavior from 1 to 3 hours daily with the purpose of facilitating eventual return to all or nearly all regular classes. Student time in the classroom is totally individualized. The treatment plan involves a behavior…

Six behaviorally handicapped elementary students participated in short-term resource treatment to bring their behavior under the control of a combination of treatment procedures emphasizing self-evaluation. Results indicated that students maintained appropriate classroom behavior in their regular classrooms, once self-evaluation procedures were…

"Transenvironmental programming" is presented as a databased approach for promoting regular class success for handicapped students by carefully programing resource room instruction. An experimental study, with a 12-year-old student with behavior problems and academic deficiencies, is described which supports the efficacy of the approach.…

Sixty-eight teachers were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions involving written information descriptions (positive and negative) and videotaped behavior (withdrawn and acting out). Findings suggest that a behaviorally disordered child should be seen as a student with specific problems within the normal range of behavior.…

The study compared the regular classroom behavior and teacher ratings of 17 learning-disabled (LD), 16 low average (LA), and 17 average (AV) children in grades 1-2 in 11 schools before and after LD placement in resource programs. Among findings were no preplacement behavior differences and more LD maladaptive behavior patterns at postplacement.…

Two elementary teachers rated 91 learning-disabled students (56 mainstreamed and 35 in self-contained classes) using the Weller-Strawser Scales of Adaptive Behavior. Results indicated that personality variables and problem behavior were related to teachers' perceptions of the ability of learning-disabled students to adapt to the classroom.…

The authors urge educators to accept that behavior problem youngsters can no longer be barred from the public schools and that effective programs for these children need to be implemented. This paper was presented to the State Department of Education Conference on Emotionally Handicapped Programs, Orlando, Florida, August 9, 1977. (SJL)

Four junior high aged students (three behaviorally disordered and one learning disabled) received self-management training, without the external control of a token program. The self-evaluation procedures reduced students' off-task and disruptive behaviors in the resource room, but there was little or no spontaneous generalization to the students'…
