  Behavior Management
  Based upon each child's individualized education program (IEP) a variety of approaches are utilized to provide the student with the opportunity to benefit from his or her education. Behavior management strategies such as a tri-level point system with rewards for appropriate behavior and loss of privileges for inappropriate behavior, individual and group counseling, social work services and individualized academics all combine to meet the TLC goal of returning the student to the regular class setting as soon as possible.
Aggressive Students
Should a students behavior present a threat to the safety of others, self, or the environment, the student may be removed to a quiet room to allow for a safe period in which he/she can regain self-control. Depending upon the aggressiveness of the student this may require physical restraint. Therefore all teachers, assistants, and support personnel are trained in safe methods for restraining a physically aggressive student.
