Do you collaborate with your school team and support your students who need a little more mental health support? If so how do you collaborate? What types of strategies do you implement to help a student? I have been working in specialized schools that support students with behavioral and psychiatric disorders for over 16-years. I collaborate with teachers, behavior specialist's and psychologists to implement an appropriate plan for a student. I will often implement sensory- based strategies such s progressive relaxation techniques, yoga techniques, movement breaks with heavy work opportunities. Social skills groups are also very beneficial and can be done when collaborating with psychology, social work or speech and language therapists.
