Résumé

A number of practices have been recognized as effective ways to manage difficult behaviour (Gaudreau, 2011), but some of them are either underutilized by teachers in the classroom environment or used without due consideration for the conditions required for their effectiveness (Gable, Tonelson, Sheth, Wilson, & Park, 2012; State, Harrison, Kern, & Lewis, 2017). In this regard, in-service and pre-service teachers point to a lack of prepa-ration during their initial training program, (Bonvin & Gaudreau, 2015; Buell, Hallam, Gamel-Mccormick, & Scheer, 1999), and more so for regular than special teaching educa-tion teachers (Hsein, 2007).
