The Office of Technology and Procedures staff serves as a resource in the identification and selection of instructional materials and facilitates the ordering and distribution of these materials. Through the use of a multidisciplinary model, the various disciplines coordinate and integrate services into a total educational plan for each student. The model provides the opportunity for staff members to meet on a regular basis to determine each student's needs, design intervention plans, and develop implementation strategies. The model encourages related services personnel to work in the classroom, as appropriate. Students with challenging behaviors require effective classroom management which includes positive programming, interventions including behavior modification plans, and crisis prevention techniques when necessary.
Teachers can consult with behavior specialists when a student's behavior interferes with learning.
The behavior specialist will assist the teacher in developing a specific behavior plan for the student. Bloomington, NJ, Institute for the Study of Developmental Disabilities.
