Classroom Accomodations

According to R. Marc, A. Crundwell and K. Killu, in the article entitled, "Responding to a Student's Depression," students need the following supports in the classroom:

• frequent feedback on academic, social, and behavourial performance.
• teach the student to set goals and self-monitor.
• teach problem-solving skills.
• develop modifications and accomodations to respond to the student's fluctuations in mood, ability to concentrate, or side effects of medication.
• give the student opportunities to engage in social interactions.
• develop a home-school communication system to share information on the student's academic, social and emotional behaviour.
