Mrs. Thelma Crawford, anew
member of the Henderson
Elementary faculty, works in
the area of behaviorial
disorders.
Behavior disorders can be
defined in terms of personality
dynamics or in terms of the
effect of a child’s behavior on
himself or on other people.
Behavior disorder is defined as
a deviation from age-appropri
ate behavior which significant
ly interferes with (1) the
child’s own growth and
development and or (2) the
lives of other. Generally
speaking any child having
difficulty in adjusting to the
school environment to such a
degree that special help is
needed is said to have behavior
disorders.
The behavior disorder child
may exhibit any or all of the
following characteristics:
1. Emotional disturbances
which prohibit adjustment to
everday surroundings.
2. Inability to achieve
satisfactory social relation
ships with peers and adults.
3. Disregard for accepted
social values and rules.
4. Aggressive behavior,
truancy and defiance of
authority.
5. Immature and-or with
drawn behavior.
In addition, children who are
experiencing crisis situations
such as a death in the family,
divorce of parents, severe
illness, school expulsions or
problems in which social
and-or correctional agencies
are involved may also need
supportive help.
Cooperation from the teach
ers has been tremendous in
trying to identify students.
Presently there are seventeen
students involved in the
program at Henderson Ele
mentary School.
Along with the counseling of
the child, psychological ser
vices are provided for students
who are in need of special help.
