The current observational case study involves four second grade students without disabilities in a classroom in which a disruptive student with disabilities was included. The purpose of the study was to record and analyze the academic responses (AR) and inappropriate behaviors (IB) that were exhibited by students without disabilities in three different conditions. Within an alternating observations design, the results indicated that the students' AR was lowest and IB was highest when the disruptive student was in the classroom without the para, and students' AR was highest and IB was lowest when both the disruptive student and the para left the room. Limitations and implications for future research were discussed. (Contains 2 figures and 1 table.)
