Problematic behavior in children are often witnessed these days, however, an illness might not always be the cause. Certain attitudes could be overwhelming at times and sometimes it's purely due to mood swings.
It is reported that some professionals have intentionally misdiagnosed some children in order to get educational resources and to make them "fit a certain category of disability in order for them to get a resource" even though they "don't theoretically meet the actual label". This practice is not only misleading but has also opened a Pandora's box of difficulties.
People with strong financial backgrounds have access to private neurological experts. But the real problem arises for children who are totally dependent upon the public system in order to get a diagnosis and further treatment.
According to Irish Independent, the department of education is taking the matter seriously and formulating a plan to overcome this exploitation. It is suggested that special teaching techniques should be held in practice that can separate false diagnosis from when there is actually a need to do one.
It is also the part of the plan to educate the parents of children with ADHD and anxiety problems so that they can inform the teachers to spare them extra time. A child's mental instability as a function of some sort of disability is a distressing factor that often prevails in most societies.
As per the Irish Hub, this mindset is made up mainly because of the above mentioned false practices for personal benefit. Parents and teacher must admit the fact that like body sickness, a mind can be ill too and it certainly has a cure as well.
The plan induces certain ideas, especially for schools, schools will hire support teachers so that they can perform better while understanding their needs. In case of a problem while teaching, professional help should be acquired. The department and regulatory body must be well informed as to assist and guide whenever needed.
