Once a child is diagnosed with a specific anxiety disorder, you may need to make changes to instructional strategies or modifications in order to help children accomplish academic goals.
Some examples of these are:
|
|
|
If you don’t have one already in your classroom, post a daily schedule that can be easily seen by students. That way, students can be prepared for what’s coming next in the day.
|
|
Reduce school assignments/homework if necessary. Again, talk with parents about this to determine an appropriate workload for that specific student.
|
|
Do your best to stick to a consistent schedule. Children with anxiety typically do best with structure and routine.
|
|
Be respectful of boundaries. If a child is really not ready to do something that triggers anxiety, do not force them.
|
|
Pair anxious children with peers than are more confident and self-assured.
|
|
Provide a quiet and relaxing area for the student to go when they are having a tough time.
|
|
Break up tasks into smaller chunks. Children with anxiety can feel overwhelmed and meltdown if a task seems too daunting.
|
|
Praise students for handling stressful situations appropriately, even if it is a small moment.
|
|
Avoid punishing the child or having an overly negative attitude.
