This presentation will focus on evidenced based strategies for working with students who present oppositional and defiant behavior. While considering the needs of students with social maladjustment (Attachment Disorder, Oppositional Defiant and Conduct Disorder) and students with disabilities that manifest in anger management challenges and defiance, strategies will be presented for preventing and diffusing outbursts and developing long term coping strategies and replacement skills. Each participant will receive a CD containing a toolbox of strategies for oppositional and defiant students, and my book “In Search of a Heart: Creating Caring Conscience and Character in all Children” (2008), “Positive Parenting Tips Booklet (Vitto & Mack,2006),” Evidence Based Strategies for diffusing defiant and aggressive behaviors, and resources and strategies for bringing out the best in challenging home school partnerships. Each participant will have an opportunity to perform a competing pathways planning exercise on a defiant student or a difficult home school partnership (i.e., resulting in a formal intervention plan outline). In addition, each person will have opportunities to role play diffusing a defiant student.
