Mental Health Module #1
I have never heard of Oppositional Defiant Disorder prior to this module. It sure sounds intimidating and scary just reading the characteristics. I feel as though more awareness should be done, because it is not beneficial for these students to be ostracized if they are diagnosed with this.

It was eye opening to see what this looks like and how disruptive the behaviors can be. I felt sorry for the actual student with ODD as well as the other students in the classroom. The teacher clearly did not have control of the classroom at all. During the second video, the teacher engaged the students …show more content…

It seems as though she is suffering from hallucinations when she is pleading with people who are not there to not take her or she puts her hands up to stop people from getting near her, when no one is there.

Next I would document the occurrence on the Crisis Report as soon as I possibly could. Lastly, I would fill out the Student Release for Mental Health Evaluation if/when the parents left. I think the parents/care giver, principal, assistant principal, counselor, and any other teachers that Gabby is a student of should all know about the situation.

Many mental health issues/psychological disorders can contribute or lead to maladaptive perfectionism. People with some forms of anxiety are more likely to develop perfectionist tendencies (Regressi). Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) also has a back and forth relationship. While some people believe that all perfectionists have OCD–likely because of perfectionism’s “control freak” stereotype–this is actually not true.

On the other hand, non-contingent reinforcement (NCR) appears to be an antecedent intervention that will more effectively influence the client. Due to the friendly and easy methodology, this procedure will allow teachers and staff to implement this intervention without being clinically trained. Non-contingent reinforcement will allow the child to frequently gain reinforcement non contingent to the problem behavior.
