5
What causes ODD?
  • The cause of Oppositional Defiant Disorder is
    unknown at this time. The following are some of
    the theories being investigated
  • It may be related to the childs temperament
    and the familys response to that temperament
  • A predisposition to ODD is inherited in some
    families
  • There may be problems in the brain that cause
    ODD.
  • It may be cause by a chemical imbalance in the
    brain

6
Who has ODD?
  • 10 years and under - however this can develop
    beyond this age
  • More prevalent in boys than girls
  • 1 in 5 primary age students display ODD
    characteristics (this can be influenced by
    economical, racial and cultural factors)

7
What can we do as future educators?
  • Always build on the positives, give the child
    praise and positive reinforcement when they show
    flexibility or cooperation.
  • Take a time-out break, if you are trying to make
    the conflict worse. This is good modelling for
    the child.
  • Support the child if they decide to take time-out
    to prevent overreacting.

8
What can we do as future educators?
  • Pick your battles. Since the child with ODD has
    trouble avoiding power struggle, prioritise the
    things you want the student to do.
  • Set up reasonable, age appropriate limits with
    consequences that can be enforced consistently.
  • Obtain support from other teachers and support
    staff
  • and always remember..

9
  • Stay calm! Allow time to manage your own stress
    and relaxation!

10
How can I obtain further information?
  • School support (talk to colleagues)
  • Guidance officer
  • Scarce resources in the library etc - because it
    its a relatively new disorder.
  • Most information on the Internet in medical
    journals. Can be found
  • using most search engines.
