For more than four decades, Chamberlain International School has provided therapeutic educational services for students from across the United States. Chamberlain International School works closely with teens who are experiencing difficulties, helping them overcome the social and emotional challenges they face. When seeking to help angry teens, parents must take time to establish boundaries and communicate the consequences of overstepping those boundaries. All teens must understand that their actions have consequences, a lesson that will serve them well in their adult lives. Parents can connect with teens by attempting to understand the source of their anger. Teens often feel misunderstood by parents and teachers, leaving them with feelings of inadequacy and isolation. In many cases, teens simply need a loved one to listen to them without judgment. Parents can also help teens deal with their anger in a healthy way. One of the most common stress management tactics is exercise, which ranges from running and team sports to dancing or singing along to loud music. Whatever the technique, it is vital that teens learn to recognize their emotions and channel them into healthy, productive activities.
At Chamberlain International School, a team of clinicians, educators, and support staff collaborates to serve adolescents with a variety of challenges. Chamberlain International School welcomes students with a variety of mental-health issues and learning difficulties, including non-verbal learning disorder.Although it is not yet a clinically defined diagnosis, non-verbal learning disorder (NVLD) encompasses a set of challenges that can affect a child's education. Children with these difficulties do not have any difficulties with reading, writing, or rote learning. This means that the non-verbal learning disorder is often missed by educators and professionals, who mistakenly assume that the child has a behavioral issue.In reality, the child is struggling with the skills that involve the right half of the brain that allow a child to recognize and apply a pattern or concept. He or she cannot adequately process visual-spatial information and thus cannot copy a shape or understand spatial relationships between objects in a room. As a result, the child often seems awkward or clumsy.NVLD also affects a child's ability to understand patterns in mathematics, narratives, and even social communications. Because they struggle to conceptualize rules of group behavior, they often act out inappropriately or withdraw from social situations, favoring instead the predictability of video games. They have similar trouble with the necessary organizing and planning of everyday life and cannot plan a project or deconstruct an expectation into smaller, more manageable pieces.
