Abstract
In today's mega technological world, children at all grade levels are constantly being bombarded by stimuli that is often disruptive to their learning process. This paper focuses on the initial problem of disruptive (negative) classroom behavior and how a student can learn to manage said behavior in order to maximize learning.
From the Paper
"Off task behavior is not a new phenomenon in a learning situation, albeit in an educational environment or one of business. The task of an effective teacher is to be able to counteract the problem with instructional methods and control procedures that minimize off task occurrences - thus maximizing learning. The results of the preliminary observational study clearly indicated that off task behavior consumes a significant portion of the total instructional time in a classroom environment over a period of one week. Therefore, the charge place before all educators is to adopt instructional and behavior methods that will reduce the likelihood of off task behavior becoming an instructional interference."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the concept of disruptive innovation, also known as disruptive technology and disruptive change. Using Ron Adner's definition from his article titled ?When Are Technologies Disruptive? A Demand-Based View of The Emergence of Competition? as a guide, it attempts to investigate the dynamics of disruptive innovation in the marketplace. It looks at some of key characteristics and attributes inherent in any disruptive innovation and outlines some useful strategies companies can use to protect themselves through identifying, assessing and even creating disruptive innovation. It concludes with a discussion concerning some of the major hurdles companies undergo when contending with such an event in their market space.
Outline
Introduction and Objective
The Dynamics of Disruptive Innovations
Sustaining vs. Disruptive
How to Identify and Assess Disruptive Innovation
How to Respond to Disruptive Innovation
Five Responses to Disruptive Innovation
Major Hurdles
How to Create Disruptive Innovation
Strategy #1 - Creating a New Market as a Base for Disruption
Strategy #2 - Disrupting the Business Model From the Low End
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another common hurdle in the face of disruption comes to light once a company has decided to embrace the innovation while continuing to operate the current business. Since, a disruptive innovation creates the need for such a different business model, and usually a different product, there is no question that complications arise when a company tries to incorporate the new business within the current model. The issues are numerous and range from funding, human resources, leadership, and cost structures just to name a few. To minimize these risks and hurdles studies suggest that the new business functions be carried out as an independent entity, linking back to the parent only when necessary or to take advantage of clearly beneficial synergies."

Abstract
This paper examines how top companies such as HP, Intel, Lucent, and Motorola, among other technological giant companies, have needed to change the focus of their production lines. The writer explains that in order to survive the current economic crisis, these companies must invest in developing their own new, and possibly disruptive, technology and the corporate culture to encourage ongoing innovation.
From the Paper
"Established telecoms have caught on to the idea for a much more compelling reason. Circuit-centric vendors have recognized that, like mainframe manufacturers before them, they could be blindsided by new competitors. Communications networks are subject to disruption in the process of the improvement of component technologies, faster lasers, dense wavelength division multiplexing and improved fiber, amongst others. These advances are leading to a new class of ?disruptive carriers, including companies such as Qwest, Level 3, Enron, Frontier and others who are building new ?long-haul? networks. These are expected to be the only the first level of even greater disruption to come, creating a new market dynamic as companies solving the huge and expanding demand for bandwidth capacity sell and use their increased, flexible and more reliable facilities (Isenberg, 7/99)."

Abstract
This dissertation study tests the effectiveness of an everyday activities-based protocol for managing challenging and disruptive behaviors of 13-23 year old residential students (male and female) with autism who live at Melmark Homes and attend school or adult day programs. The study applies behavior analysis and focuses on everyday occupations (activities) and combines this analysis and focus during the intervention phase. The study also uses reinforcements sub-task completion and the duration of participation, but not for the absence of target maladaptive or disruptive behaviors. Behavior analysis is used, however, to document the frequency/duration of the target behaviors during each condition. In the study, interventions occur daily, Monday through Friday and a single-subject, multiple-baseline, across-subjects design with nine subjects is used to evaluate change in behaviors under alternating conditions. Data is analyzed using graphical, semi-statistical, and statistical techniques, including slopes, 2 standard deviation bands, and the C-statistic. The projected outcome of the study is the validation of an activities-based protocol to enable greater participation of individuals with Autism in everyday activities and in their communities, be they residential or non-residential (home-based) communities.

Background
Review of the Relevant Literature
From the Paper
"Historically, documented disruptive behaviors displayed by residential students diagnosed with autism and other developmental disabilities include noncompliance, physical and verbal aggression, inappropriate verbalizations not characterized as aggression, poor social skills, as well as deficits in attention to task (Green, 1996; Luce, 1981; Maurice, 1996). These behaviors require residential treatment and preclude participation in community based activities, (Luce, 2004). Educators generally agree that deficits in academic skills result from a decrease in on-task behaviors because of disruptive off-task behaviors (Skinn, Ramsey, Walker, Stieber, & O'Neill, 1987)."

Abstract
This paper looks into the issue of increasing violent behavior among young school age children, while asserting that there is growing evidence that early intervention by schools to correct maladaptive behavior may result in decreased violent behavior as these children grow older. Furthermore, this paper looks at the issue from the view of early childhood professionals, stating the importance of recognizing these aggressive behaviors and managing them properly. The paper discusses the differences between normal maladaptive behavior from pathological behavioral disorders as well as the theories that govern a child's development of behavior and how these are applied to the current knowledge of managing behavior. Lastly, the paper discusses methods or models that are used to correct these behaviors.

Introduction
Normal Misbehavior and Disruptive Behavior in Preschool Children
Theories in Child Behavior Development
Management for Normative misbehavior among Preschoolers
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the two cases presented by Goodwin et al (2003), these preschoolers were seen to manifest with behavioral problems due to reasons that could and were remedied by the Childreach program. Three-year old Kelsey had been acted out aggressively because of feeling of isolation. She appeared to have problems with excessive nasal discharge secondary to allergies. Breathing through her mouth made her drool as well. She also had a problem with controlling her urinary impulses as she suffered from toilet training delays as well. Because of this, Kelsey was isolated by her peers and she was often ignored. Kelsey began to seek attention by physically hurting her peers. This kind of reaction did not make her popular but it did get people's attention. The Childreach program helped her improve her hygiene and social skills. Addressing these two issues had allowed Kelsey to have friends. In another case, Richard was referred to the Childreach program due to defiance, opposition, and aggression. It had been found that Richard's language skills was delayed by 18 months and his aggression was rooted from his frustration from not being able to follow, or appropriately respond to his environment. Therefore, his inability to communicate properly was addressed, and both parents and teachers were taught better ways to communicate with him."

Abstract
The paper begins by detailing the psychological roots of ten specific behavior patterns that represent normal people at their worst, according to Brinkman and Kirshner's book. The paper then explores ways to bring out the best in such disruptive behavior and examines different tools available to find a positive solution to the personality clashes. The paper also stresses the difference between aggression and assertiveness.
From the Paper
"Assertiveness however places an equal amount of respect, on each person. It recognizes that the persons own feelings and thought are valuable, as are those of others. This is position of personal strength, and personal vulnerability all at the same time. The assertive person makes those around him or her uncomfortable if their peers are not as personally secure. The assertive person can enter into disagreements without taking the conflict personally, and thus be in a place to move the conflict forward to resolution. The assertive person truly can express themselves, because under their own expression is the desire and ability to accept others expressions, recognize the differences, and pursue peace and positive communication. The truly assertive person will quickly be a leader, and a valuable asset to his or her company, and career."

Abstract
This research paper studies how to suppress violent disruptive student behavior in secondary schools. Three major themes are identified during the qualitative analysis: (1) young people are falsely accused of anti-social behaviors, (2) violent behavior by young people derives from other social behavior, and (3) the dichotomy of social influence and choice as explanations for violent behavior by young people. The paper concludes that violent incidents committed by students in school tend to be associated with dysfunctional families, student illegal drug use, and student gang affiliation and that violent behavior of this type is correctable. The paper includes the actual questionnaire used in the study as an appendix.
From the Paper
"Shootings at public schools in the United States over the past five years have shocked the nation. Unfortunately, that shock has not been translated into meaningful action to prevent the recurrence of such actions. School shootings, as violent, tragic, and attention grabbing as they are, also shield to some extent other violent behavior and disruptive that occur at schools in the United States. These other violent and disruptive behaviors also constitute substantial risk to school safety and may even contribute to the environment that facilitates school shootings."

Abstract
The early childhood years are universally recognized as being a critically important developmental period for human beings, and when normal patterns of parental caregiving and nurturing are disrupted or when children experience abuse at the hands of others, the consequences can be profound, pervasive and even life-threatening. This literature review examines the relationship between childhood sexual abuse, dissociation and self-destructive behavior. The studies are grouped according to those studies concerning childhood sexual abuse and dissociation, those that concern childhood sexual abuse and various self-destructive behaviors, and those that investigate the relationship between all three factors.
Outline:
Introduction
Studies Concerning Childhood Sexual Abuse and Dissociation
Studies Concerning Childhood Sexual Abuse and Self-Destructive Behaviors
Studies Examining All Three Variables
From the Paper
"When families experience the trauma of sexual abuse, the processes by which these multiple and competing reactions on the part of the parent and the child tend to interfere with the normal processes that provide families with the means to achieve healthy functioning following such episodes of abuse. In this regard, Silberg (2004) reports that when children are sexually abused, there will be a natural tendency to engage in a number of emotional responses that may compete for primacy, including a desire for secrecy, individual victimization memories and sexual experiences, and confused and mixed emotions in the child and the parent. According to this researcher, "This is likely to be the case whether the conflicting feelings are a result of abuse within the family or from maltreatment by an individual outside of the family. In either case, these competing processes lead to dissociative manifestations, forgetting, and inability to make adequate meaning out of the feelings, perceptions, and ideas stimulated by the sexual abuse" (Silberg, 2004, p. 490).

Abstract
This paper discusses Anthony Winson's and Belinda Leach's 'Contingent Work, Disrupted Lives: Labour and Community in the New Rural Economy' in relation to one of the most famous sayings in American history - "Will it play in Peoria?" According to this paper, this saying is rooted in the belief that small-scale local culture offer crucial insights into policies and products for the broader society. The paper further discusses how the origins of this commonly used phrase, is based on the practice of American musical theatre "trying out" acts in small towns like Peoria, Illinois, before moving to large cities like New York. This paper shows how this famous phrase is of direct relevance to understanding the significance of Winson's and Leach's work.

Abstract
The paper discusses and analyzes three articles on autism, "The Early Origins of Autism" by P. Rodier, on the genetic evidence related to autism and the way in which the brain develops; "Evaluating Behavioral Treatment of Disruptive Classroom Behaviors of an Adolescent with Autism" by J. Gerdtz, a case study relating to evaluating the behavior of children with autism and designing interventions that are more effective and, finally, "Autism" by S.E. Folstein, which explores some of the earlier concepts of autism and focuses on the newest concept of an autistic spectrum of disorders.
From the Paper
"In terms of treatment, Folstein is not particularly sanguine. She noted that medicine has not had much success in finding good medical treatments, and that the best that is currently offered has been discovered by trial and error. She noted that it is clear that with special educational techniques some autistic children can learn and their disruptive behaviors brought under control. The determining factors seem to be the teacher skill, the child's overall intelligence, and the child's language ability. She noted specifically that individuals with autism benefit most from teaching that takes advantage of their gifts, such as their rote memory, attention to detail, and, in some instances, special computational or visual skills."

Abstract
This paper explains that abnormal psychology is generally concerned with undesirable behaviors, which, since the early 1900s, have been classified and updated yearly in the DSM-IV that is used by professionals to help identify mental illnesses. The author explains that attention-deficit disorder and disruptive behavior (ADHD), which runs in the family, was once thought to be only a childhood disorder but research shows that it continues into adulthood. The paper relates that the treatment for schizophrenia demands medication, such as Risperdal, Zyprexa, and Clozaril, along with psychotherapy; however, sometimes hospitalization is necessary during an active phase of the illness.
From the Paper
"Unfortunately with behavioral disorders, relapses are triggered by stressful events and the majority of people in this world go through many stressful events in their lifetime. As for people with schizophrenia, they will never return to a fully normal and healthy life. The disorders symptoms can be controlled with medications and therapy. One problem they are left with is permanent side effects from the medications they have to take over their life times, which can be undesirable in social and occupational settings. Treatments are constantly changing and hopefully someday the outlook for all disorders will be bright. But we need to understand what the outcome can be so we can pass on to our patients what they can achieve."
