never heard of this?

The only VD I know is venereal disease which seems unlikely. Would you like to expand those acronyms?

I'm not persuaded the term dysregulated is at all useful in general and this sentence is a good example of this. I want to know how he reacts to the visitor. Is he afraid of them, angry with them? Angry with the teacher. What does he say. Has he been asked why he doesn't like visitors?
More generally it's been my observation that physical force ... if you prefer the term to violence, is used in lieu of conversation as a form of communication. He can't make them understand how angry he is and why he is angry so he uses physical force on them. It's a pattern he probably learnt from adults who probably use physical force on him whenever they are frustrated and unable to persuade him to do what they want.
Either way the solution is more conversation. Asking him how he feels, what he wants, why he wants it. Argument and negotiation. etc.
VD is verbal dyspraxiaDLD is developmental language disorder
high Coin is high communication needs
I am a bit shocked about learnt behaviour comment. I have never seen anyone kick my son
so yes he cannot verbalise and let us know exactly what the problem is. Maybe it is that someone unknown is coming into their classroom and his frustration is more so as he cannot verbalise well at all.
I have had a reply in another group where instead of using the term ‘violent’ this should be described as ‘dysregulated’. I agree with this.
