Synopsis

The article specifically deals with the mental health portion of our case.  The goal should be in the direction why is the student having outburst.  In mental health we think about emotional regulation, frustration tolerance and problem and adaptability skills. 

Can we remove the expectation and what happens to the behavior?  Can we give her skills to deal with the expectation and resolve the conflict? So there are less aggressive outburst that are not harmful to others and herself.  Collaboratively working with the student to understand the difficulty.

Alternatively working through the lacking skills using the Collaborative Problem Skills.  If we give the student the skills, could she we resolve some of the behavior? 

What are the demands that cause her to be do defiant and violent?  Could this replace the teachers restraining her?
