Crayon in the soup

Yesterday we had a crayon end up in a bowl of soup because Toby told another one of my students to do it. It involved two of my students with SPD. I get really confused on how to give these kiddos consequences and be understanding of their struggles.  I don't want to single them out, but sadly they are singling themselves out with their behavior. But... if they can't control their behaviors then how do I deal with their actions.

When I went to pick up the kids from the library the librarian had a very stressed look on her face. She said she wanted to talk to me about a couple of my kids after school. I was not surprised. : ) At the end of the day I went to meet with her and of course she wanted to talk about Toby, Toby's new best friend who seems to betting in all kinds of trouble with him, and one of my students with ADHD. I gave her as much info as I could and told her about the music teachers arrangement of giving these kids extra sensory input. Then we kept talking about more and more kids in my class who are also having difficulties.  The list just kept going on. Phew, what a year this is going to be. : )

At the end of the day my interns supervisor told me that Toby threw 3-hole punches all over another student. Oh, what to do?
