Teaching A Child With ODD or CD

Children who suffer with ODD or CD symptoms will struggle at home, school and in their relationships. They can often be distractible and cannot focus while at school. They will not be able to experience the motivation and concentration needed to complete homework at home. Sometimes, their strong emotional or physical reactions will negatively impact their relationships with peers.

This can create chaos in the most normal everyday life in the classroom and homework time at home. It becomes a central stressor for parents and sometimes, even siblings. At NPS, we take a realistic integrative approach in our treatment of ODD/CD. We speak into balancing out realistic expectations of academics at school and homework while in the process of helping a child overcome their struggles.

We support the parent by helping them work with the classroom teacher. We have many years of working closely with schools for accommodations and putting helpful scaffolding around the student to support them. We are familiar with how to set up resources such as 504’s and IEP’s, which offer support for your child in the classroom.
