12 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCHOOL, FAMILY AND MENTAL HEALTH FAMILY MENTAL HEALTH SCHOOL
13 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCHOOL, FAMILY AND MENTAL HEALTH FAMILY MENTAL HEALTH SCHOOL
14 NORMAL CURVE FOR ANXIETY
15 NORMAL CURVE FOR THOSE WITH DD
16 CASE STUDY--BEN 7 year old male Parents divorced, both very involved and he is only child Eligible for special education as student with SLD in reading Diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD and dyslexia (SLD) Hates school and feels that teachers and other students don t like him
17 ANXIETY LOOKS LIKE Talking to self in class Withdrawn and distracted Lost in school environment Playing alone at recess Difficulty getting started in the morning Confused at end of day Making little progress in reading
18 SMALL CHANGES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE Ben would get confused and lost in morning routine resource teacher assisted in making a checklist Ben did not know who to play with at recess teacher helped identify groups/friends Ben worried about which parent would pick him up a schedule was made by parents and used at school
19 CASE STUDY--ABBY 12 year old female with ASD and low average ability Abby has two siblings near her age Parents are divorced and both are actively involved in her care Abby and her siblings spend equal time with each parent changing homes every 3 to 4 days Abby is fully included in general education but struggles with completing work and following classroom instruction She has few friends and feels that others don t like
20 WHAT DOES ANXIETY LOOK LIKE IN ABBY? Pacing Talking to herself Feeling/stating that others are against her Stomachaches during school day Struggles with attention in class and completing work Doesn t start work Sits alone during recess
21 WHAT ARE SOME STRATEGIES THAT MIGHT HELP DECREASE ABBY S ANXIETY?
22 DEVON 22 YEAR OLD MALE Lives at home with parents and a high school sibling Completed college with a great deal of family effort Has few friends Despite college diploma, has not been able to hold a job Recently diagnosed with ASD Stays up late at night and sleeps late in morning Does not readily shower, shave or change clothes
23 WHAT DOES ANXIETY LOOK LIKE IN DEVON? Very stubborn about trying new things Does not ask for help and resists advice Prefers to do things on his computer to interact with others Blames others on things not working out Avoids the social aspects of a situation Does not initiate contact with others or make calls, send s
24 WHAT WOULD NOT BE HELPFUL TO DEVON?
25 TREATMENT OF ANXIETY IN THOSE WITH DD Appropriate diagnosis of primary and secondary conditions Parent/caregiver and teacher education about the conditions and related conditions Adjustment of expectations and environment to meet the individual s needs
26 TREATMENT OF ANXIETY IN THOSE WITH DD Establishing realistic expectations Individual and family therapy Adapting the environments (school, home, community) to meet the individual s needs Consideration of medication
27 ADULT/CAREGIVER ROLES Downshift and keep emotions calm Assume the role of frontal lobe Problem solve Implement solutions
28 IN GENERAL... Decrease expectations Decrease stimuli including less talk Increase support Provide more clear visual input Provide an option to let the individual get out of situation with dignity
29 TOO MUCH... TOO FAST Allow more time for daily routines and transitions Talk less Minimize transitions Provide visual prompts and schedules Decrease stimulation and stress Find alternative ways to include but not to over-stress
30 A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE Recognize that the individual s needs and perspectives are not the same as your own Try to establish a routine that is fulfilling to the individual but not overstimulating Make sure that the individual (as well as the caregiver) is getting enough sleep, nutrition and exercise
