Behaviors In Adolescents

Improved Essays
Problem behaviors in adolescents are normally defined as being a troubled child. Many people are not aware that there are mental illnesses which cause the sudden outburst in many adolescents, these outbursts are usually modified by medication but corrected with behavior techniques (White, 2016). By observing the agency, the social worker came to the conclusion the proposed macro concern is the lack of behavioral job interviewing skills programs for students who are aging out aged sixteen through eighteen in the day treatment program. Behavior problem students should be shown how to conduct themselves in a job interview. The students express behavior problems at home and the classroom. Many of the students’ mental illnesses are being mildly …show more content…
The test showed that the students knew little about how to fill out a job application and knew nothing about how to present themselves in an employment interview (Kelly, Wildman & Berler, 1999). The students’ treatment group’s role played job interview, pre and posttest performance recorded by tape at fast food restaurants. Kelly, Wildman and Berler (1999) results of the study indicate that when appropriate teaching retarded citizens on job interviewing behavior will potentially help them become employable citizens.
Durand (1990) study reported that there are more ways than one to eliminate behavior problems, it depends on the illness. He argues that the different types of interventions allow individuals with severe behavior problems to live more productive and independent lives. Durand (1990) feels that the individuals with a behavior problem that participated in the study should be called student, participant or learners. The accommodation versus assimilation model will be effective in dealing with altering the student’s behavior (Durand, 1990). This model was used with 23 students with severe behavior

Assimilation involves dealing with the problem at hand instead of altering it to fit their perspective. By using the modal accommodation will hinder the student from facing the issue head first. Durand (1990) results of the study suggest that by using the least restrictive approach and assimilation model allowed 18 of the students to effectively communicate with others.
Elksnin and Elksnin (1998) reported that social skills should be taught to students with behavior problems to broaden their outlook on life after they graduate from high school. Mathur, Kavale, Quinn, Forness, and Rutherford (1998) studies reported students with emotional and behavioral problems, sixty-four single subject studies examined the students’ social skills. The students were chosen because of their lack social skills (Mathur, Kavale, Quinn, Forness, & Rutherford, 1998). The students showed signs of isolation and showing a positive social relationship with

    The book by Rachel Janney and Martha Snell titled, Behavioral Support, was a great read for any teacher, administrator, or other school staff member. Behavioral Support provided many suggestions for students who need more positive behavioral support in school to help them be successful. The text gave me more insight on how behavior is learned and can be changed. The text posed the following question, “Why do people act in ways that are difficult to understand, disturbing to others, and even destructive to self, others, and property?”(Janney, Snell, 5). This question really made me reflect on my own experiences as a teacher in working with students who have been distracted and/or hard to understand.…

    The school failure hypothesis believes that school failure for adolescents with learning disabilities is an excessive step that leads to other events, such as rejection by peers or academic difficulties, and juvenile court involvement. The susceptibility hypothesis believes that adolescents with learning disabilities have cognitive, neurological, and intellectual difficulties that make them vulnerable to engage in delinquent behavior. Lastly, the differential treatment hypothesis believes that adolescents with learning disabilities are no more involved with delinquent activities that their nondisabled peers. In this particular hypothesis, the adolescents are not a fault, but rather the reaction of authority figures involved with the adolescent are to blame (Mallett 2014:148-149). As time went by, things only seemed to get worse for students in the education…

    After reading your post, it made recall when I was a paraprofessional working with all types of students. The most effective component of the job duty was to attend professional development opportunities that would help benefit my responsibilities of how to handle various types of behaviors and how to de-escalate a student in crisis mode. All the professional development opportunities that I attended were very helpful when working with students with problem behavioral disorders. Many times it was my duty to remove the student from the classroom to the hallway to not disturb further the classroom environment and allow for the student the opportunity to de-escalate to discuss later what had occurred and provide coping and reinforcement strategies…

    When reading ”Mobilizing culture, language, and educational practices, Fulfilling the promises of Mendez and Brown” by Moll, L (2010) it goes on to explain the landmark brown v. board of education (1954) involving the Mexican and Mexican American students who lived in California. The Méndez family brought this case in relation to brown and cultural aspects involving what was happing to education at that time. From the reading I did not know how important this case was to everyone but that the law allowed segregation to Asians and Native Americans and did not go into detail for Mexican children. I found it interesting that when Gonzalo asked for help from a Hispanic organization they refused but helped later on. All Gonzalo wanted was to Change the education for children of the future.…

    Support Resource Interview Students with behavioral issues in school may not have access to the support that they need because the schools they are do not have the funding necessary to work with these students. These students have a higher chance of suspension, which causes a loss of information due to days of missed instruction (Stagman & Cooper, 2010). Services are available to combat the issues, but almost eighty percent of students with issues do not receive any services for their behavioral issues (Stagman & Cooper, 2010). Many times, mental health services are needed for these students. When interviewing two teachers from Sprout U School of the Arts about their support system for students, there were similar and dissimilar answers.…

    • Early identification and intervention for emotional and behavioral disorders in young children provided social and emotional support. Next, it allowed students to mimic behaviors that displayed development skills and then encouraged them to reenact these actions on a daily basis. Students can learn appropriate modes of behavior or they can respond to personal needs through interactions with other students, thereby creating an environment in which they imitate behaviors that are acceptable to their peers (Coleetal. ,2004; Lehtonenetal.,2012). • Early Childhood development has been continuously examined by evaluating the school support in kindergarten, the students unique and combined association that increase into a form of aggression, social withdrawal and cognition delays during the children’s early childhood…

    Rachel, Ryan, and Ashley are three students who exhibit challenges with successfully interacting with others. It is no surprise that these students are disturbing others in class and are not responding well to verbal debriefs in time-outs, all the while continuing to be disruptive in class. Even though these three students exhibit struggles with positive interactions, the source of that behavior is different for each student. Since their behaviors all stem from different sources, I feel that individual interventions would be most beneficial for these students. Certainly, an alternate intervention would need to be issued if the student(s) refuse the assigned intervention or it is unsuccessful in adjusting the undesired student behaviors.…

    Having difficulty relating to an ever-growing diverse group of students, inability to evaluate student behavior, and the incapacity to produce affective mediations to promote academic success in students; these factors can help explain why teachers cannot handle behavior problems successfully. (Gable, R. A., Hester, P. P., Hester, L. R., Hendrickson, J., & Sze, S. 2005, p. 40). In order to help students, teachers must be able to understand the origin of the behaviors to gain clarity.
