Case: Abusive Student There's a student who has behavior issues and anger issues. The student is in general education classes and is not diagnosed with anything other than ADD/ADHD. If they does not either get what they want or they so happened to get disciplined for misbehaving then the student will get so mad to the point where they either hit something, throw something, or hurt someone else. The single mother has been trying to put the student on different medication, but it has not helped. It has only made the situation worse. The mother came in one day and had a huge bruise on the back of her arm. She told me that the student had a really good privous week so during the weekend she rewarded the student with a video game. Apparently the game was the specific game that the student wanted so, the mother said that the student pinched her. The child says that they got mad about the mother not giving them the specific game that she said she was going too so the student punched the mother in the arm. I know if we suspect a child is being abused then we have to call DCF, but what exactly is suppose to happen if we think it is the other way around? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Sometimes a medication like Ritalin or something of the like will have negative side effects with emotions. I would suggest not only to have the mother find an alternative way to handle the ADD/ADHD, but also seek a way to handle the emotional issues the child has. |
