Is it a symptom or a behaviour?
Struggling to support kaiako to shift from interpreting a student's response as choosing to misbehave to being just unable to cope? This can be particularly relevant for ākonga with FASD.
Dr. Vanessa Spiller has created a practical framework that aligns really well with Dr. Ross Greene's whakaaro.
Her core message is the more brain-based weaknesses a student has, such as those that students with FASD struggle with, the more likely they are to have symptoms that look like deliberate misbehaviour. Ross describes these as frustration responses.
The resource maps common classroom challenges directly to their underlying cognitive causes.
