Practical Ideas That Really Work for Students with Disruptive, Defiant, or
Difficult Behaviors is a resource for behavior specialists, psychologists,
counselors, and administrators who must evaluate behavior and document
interventions. It is a tool for IEP committees who are charged with developing
behavioral intervention plans. This is an ideal sourcebook for pre-referral
intervention teams, who plan strategies for students before their placement in
specialized programs. 
Practical Ideas That Really Work for Students with Disruptive, Defiant, or
Difficult Behaviors includes two components:
- An easy to use evaluation form to rate a student's behavior, select and
plan for appropriate interventions, and document progress; and
- A book of practical ideas, containing suggestions for interventions,
explanations of strategies, reproducible forms, and helpful illustrations
and examples.
The materials are organized into two age-appropriate versions. One is designed
for students in Preschool through Grade 4 and emphasizes visual communication
strategies ideal for young students. The other version, appropriate for Grade 5
through Grade 12 students, focuses on interventions specially designed to meet
the unique needs of older students. The behaviors addressed are organized into
four categories, each focusing on an area of problematic behavior commonly
reported among school age students. Both the behaviors and their corresponding
interventions have been well researched to ensure identification of high
priority problems as well as maximally effective solutions.
The rating scale consists of 40 items measuring four areas: acting out
behaviors/serious misconduct, noncompliance in the classroom, poor peer
relationships, and emotional adjustment problems and is linked directly to the
planning matrix, which allows for the selection of several appropriate
interventions. It has been field-tested to ensure reliability and validity.
Reliability coefficients range from .88 to .95. In addition the scale
differentiates between students with serious emotional disturbance or behavior
disorders and students without serious emotional disturbance or behavior
disorders. Students with serious emotional disturbance or behavior disorders
were rated significantly higher on the scale than other students.
The authors, who have written a number of other Practical Ideas That
Really Work materials, remain focused on helping teachers and other
educators design positive, practical, and effective methods of intervening with
students. They are pleased to provide new ideas that can help students succeed
both academically and socially.
