Questions
(1) What could Mrs Funsom do to increase Randie's in-seat behavior?
(2) What was wrong with Mrs Funsom changing techniques daily in an attempt to increase Randie's in-seat behavior?
(3) Mrs Funsom remarked that Randie was not developmentally ready to sit in her seat. What role should behavior modification play for children who may not be developmentally ready to sit and listen in class?Is Mrs Funsom's reason an excuse to avoid dealing with the problem?
