Is it due to a disability?
Challenging behaviors have been associated with several disabilities,
including autism, attention-deficit disorder (ADD), hyperactivity,
bipolar mood disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder
(OCD) and more. However, these labels have many overlapping symptoms.
They can never completely describe a whole child, or tell the
whole story. Identifying each child’s unique temperament,
differences or deficits provides a clearer path to the understanding
needed to come up with effective strategies for both child and
caregiver.
