Respond to the following scenario using the knowledge you have gained from reading about Functional Area 1: Safe.
A child who is emotionally disturbed has been enrolled in your classroom. The child's behavior disrupts the class's activities and takes a great deal of the teacher's and other children's time. Because of the child's hitting, kicking, and throwing of heavy materials, a safety issue for the other children is also involved. The parents have refused services in a more appropriate setting. How can you and your program balance the requirements of this child with special needs with the needs of the other children in the classroom?
Unfortunately the child would have to be removed from the program because of other children and staff being put in harms way and the parents not complying.
