Aggression in Autism Classrooms:
The Do-It-Already Behavior Plan
No theory. No fluff. Just strategies you can actually use tomorrow.
If you teach students with autism, you know this moment:
The desk slams.
The crying builds into yelling.
A shove happens in the hallway.
Or a sharp “NO!” echoes when the work feels too hard.
The whole room freezes. And all eyes turn to you.
Aggression in autism classrooms is exhausting — not just because it’s unsafe, but because it feels unpredictable.
But here’s the truth: it’s not random.
Aggression is communication.
A change in routine.
A sensory overload that’s just too much.
A favorite item taken away.
Work that feels impossible.
When you see it through this lens, you stop asking “Why is this happening?” and start knowing “Here’s what to do.”
That’s What This Book Gives You.
Aggression in Autism Classrooms: The Do-It-Already Behavior Plan is your step-by-step guide to handling aggression with confidence and calm.
Built on Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) principles and Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) strategies, this book is simple, practical, and written for teachers who need real answers — not more theory.
For SPECIAL EDUCATION Teachers
