How does misbehavior and HL connect? HL does not directly cause behavior problems, but "behavior problems" could manifest as a symptom of HL. I hope that makes sense. Allow me to explain...
Say a child demonstrates misbehavior in the classroom and he also has a HL. Does this mean his HL is causing him to misbehave? First, we must define misbehave...Is it punching another kid? Is it not paying attention to the teacher???
Punching another kid=not caused by HL at all! He made his own choice.
Not paying attention=could be seen as a behavior problem and could be contributed to HL
If a student seems to be inattentive in the classroom, make sure he knows what is going on around him. A lot of noises at once can be very distracting to a student, especially if he doesn't know what sounds he is hearing and he wears hearing aids.
If this is a problem in your classroom, constantly monitor the student and check for understanding. That will eliminate most of the problem.
Hope this helps and makes sense to you!
