From the Paper:

" The purpose is to let the students know what the rules, procedures, expectations and consequences are. In a sense, it is the teacher's way of making a lasting first impression. Suggested Accommodations and Modifications:With an instructional and behavioral strategy that focuses on establishing clear expectations and standards both for the classroom as a whole and for each individual (through the development of IEPs), it is clear that such a strategy will have to be modified in order to function properly at different age groups and with different disabilities."
