Classroom Management Techniques For Obsessive-Compulsive Students

Differently abled students, particularly those with obsessive-compulsive disorder may find school challenging. This may be a tricky task among teachers and parents. OCD, or what is sometimes called the generalized anxiety, affects children’s learning. A child with obsessive-compulsive behavior changes his mind as fast as a blink of an eye or performs the same habits many times. Children with obsessive-compulsive behavior generate obsessive thoughts that oftentimes cause difficulty in learning.

Educational Classification for Your Internationally Adopted child: How Important Is It?
1/28/2011
I wrote articles and spoke about school issues of internationally adopted children many times because schooling is the major activity of a child between 5 and 18: it affects all other aspects of their psychological functioning. Success or failure at school are critical not only for the future achievements of a child, they are a validation (or a lack of it) of self worth, the basis for a peer group selection and acceptance in it. School activities are on the background of emotional and behavioral stability in the family. No wonder that parents of IA children do everything they can to get help at school for their struggling children, and this, unfortunately, is not a straightforward process.
