Children's Mental Health Disorder Fact Sheet for the classroom

[TiredSoul]

I haven't seen this before and thought it was pretty helpful. It is from the Kansas State Dept of Ed.

https://web.archive.org/web/2015110...l_Coun_Resource/Mental Health Fact Sheets.pdf

It lists the following categories for many mental health issues:

1. Disorder
2. Symptoms or Behaviors
3. About the Disorder
4. Educational Implications
5. Instructional Strategies and Classroom Accommodations

Wow, Jules this is awesome! I definitely plan to bring it along when I meet with the school. The accommodations for ODD are dead on for difficult child.
Thanks!!!

You're welcome!

I noticed what might be a typo under AD/HD and Bipolar - implications and accommodations. They are the same. I don't think they meant it to be the same.

Very cool!

That is awesome, Jules. I am going to print this out and bring it to difficult child's IEP this week when we transition her to the new school. The BiPolar (BP) symptoms and accomodations they have on there are dead on accurate.

I also just discovered if you go to the main link http://www.ksde.org/ and type in the search box mental health disorder fact sheet - it will bring up several pages for individual fact sheets for each of the separate disorders.

Great resource, thanks for sharing. I'll add it to the recommended resources in Special Education.
