I learned that I would need a detailed QUESTION of the subject to create single-subject research. To move forward with this research, I would need to gather info about this student’s issues through watching his behavior in the class room over time, and then create measurements around this behavior. Again, this research would be measured over time. Having the social worker observe this client for two weeks as indicated can help him/her create proper measurements and find the information needed to assess the client, and then come up with appropriate interventions.

The data might indicate the child acting increases during the week and then is better at the start of the week. This information could explain that something is happening in the classroom and not at home that might be affecting his behavior. 

The cause indicated may be ADHD. At this point, no one really knows why the student is behaving this way. We are at the beginning stages of this case, where we are exploring and doing research. I think after some testing, observing, research and information gathering, the student might be diagnosed with ADHD. If diagnosed, there are methods that can be used and services the boy might qualify for in his district. 

I would also like to know about his relationship with is family at home. Does he get attention from his mother? Is it negative attention or positive? Also, what was his attachment style like as an infant? Did he get attention as a baby? I would like to know how he is treated by this teacher in the classroom. Is he supported, heard and validated? I would like to know if he can qualify for special services like tutors and SIEDs.  (ilana)
