The following are two (low-tech) examples of assistive technology that a teacher could use to support students with ODD.
As a teacher, you can provide 'visual scripts' -- the version pictured below is obviously for littles, but you could 'age it up' a little. The visual script might show possible emotional regulation strategies the student could use; a list of options to handle their emotions. The visual script serves as a reminder.
Behavior-consequence charts stay up as a reminder to the room of consequences for their actions. These do NOT have to be all negative consequences, but positive consequences as well, especially if the teacher puts some sort of positive reward structure in place as reinforcement. It is important to be consistent with consequences rather than wishy-washy so that kids know what to expect and the teacher can avoid negotiation and avoid power struggles.
