Scenario: Ms. LaTasha is a teacher in an inclusive preschool classroom with twelve typically developing children and six children with developmental delays or disabilities. Though most of the children are responding well to her classroom rules, two of them frequently engage in behavior that is disruptive or aggressive. Nevaeh, who is almost five, has a developmental delay. She is quiet and mild mannered and is well liked by her peers. However, Nevaeh has difficulty staying focused during large-group activities. Though during these activities, the rule is "Eyes on the teacher," Navaeh is often engaged in behaviors such as trying to talk to her neighbor, taking her shoes off, or lying on the floor. Cyan is a four-year-old boy who exhibits persistent challenging behavior. He scratches, bites, hits, and kicks his peers when they have a toy that he wants. Most of the time, the other children give him the toy. Ms. LaTasha talks with Cyan's mother and learns that he is an only child who typically does not have to share his toys. However, Cyan's mother has similar concerns when friends come over to play: She has noticed that he is aggressive with them when he has to share his toys.
