You’ll explore strategies and supports for both school and home, including interventions and schoolwide systems for managing student behavior. Take the opportunity to compare and evaluate the benefits of various therapeutic approaches for both students and their families. By the end of this course, you will gain a better understanding of the causes and symptoms of ODD, and be able to apply strategies to create a supportive learning environment for students.
