Teaching Kids with Mental Health and Learning Disorders in the Regular Classroom - a book for general education teachers to assist them in understanding and effectively responding to students with mental health and learning disorders

How to Recognize, Understand, and Help Challenged (and Challenging) Students Succeed

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Depression. Asperger’s Syndrome. ADHD. In our age of mainstreaming, many students have these and other mental health issues and learning problems. How can educators recognize the symptoms, respond appropriately, and meet students’ learning needs while preventing or addressing disruptive behaviors? Written by a clinical psychologist, this user-friendly, jargon-free guide describes mental health and learning disorders often observed in school children, explains how each might be exhibited in the classroom, and offers expert suggestions on what to do (and sometimes what not to do). An essential tool for teachers, special education professionals, school counselors and psychologists, administrators, and teacher aides.

Dr. Cooley is a Board Certified Licensed Psychologist (PY2839) practicing in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with more than 30 years of clinical experience. He has evaluated thousands of children, adolescents and adults for learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, dyslexia, developmental and autistic spectrum disorders, and behavioral and psychological disorders. When appropriate, he conducts psychotherapy or behavior therapy for individuals. He also refers patients to educational, medical or psychological specialists in the area for other treatments or interventions.
