Emotional Disturbance
Low tech: behavior chart, allows students to visually see behavior changes and positive reactions. this chart should hopefully help the students to be able to self adjust their own behavior before it becomes negative. A con of using a behavior chart is that if the child has to carry it around and remember to bring it home and back to school it can be forgotten.

Mid Tech: MeMoves™ sequence is a patented combination of music, movement and images, utilizing simple, geometric shapes. Organized into three categories; Joy, Focus and Calm, users select one of 13 video sequences and follow along the actions on the screen. these videos can be done when the student who is classified as having an emotional disturbance is getting either mad, frustrated or stressed out the teacher can start this video to help calm all students universally but also helping that specific child become calm. a Con of this is if a student has a problem several times a day it could become a distraction from the students learning.
High Tech: an Ipod that only plays calming music for when a child who is easily angered or stressed out do to an emotional disturbance disorder. a downside to this is that it needs to be charged, and the student could begin to use this when they are not suppose to be using it.
