Abstract




The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) guarantees the right to a free and appropriate education for students with disabilities. Meanwhile, school discipline procedures disregard IDEA requirements by removing students from the classroom for inappropriate behaviors without providing instruction on how to improve these behaviors. This lack of instruction compared to the lack of emphasis on social and emotional behaviors is largely responsible for this school failure. Improving discipline practices will lead to equity and future success for students with and without disabilities. Effective strategies for teaching appropriate behaviors include explicit instruction, a school-wide positive behavioral intervention and support system, interactive games, and integration into the academic curriculum.
