Chamberlain International School in Middleboro, Massachusetts, is a
coeducational therapeutic facility supporting twice exceptional students dealing with a variety of academic and psychological challenges. In addition to the facility’s quality educational offerings, Chamberlain International School provides students with a range of therapeutic services.
Clinical care at Chamberlain has been developed to address any number of issues that may impact a student’s ability to learn, including post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Students living with PTSD can experience a number of challenges while at school. Common symptoms experienced by individuals living with the disorder include chronic anxiety for themselves and others, uncontrollable and unexpected flashbacks to the source of trauma, and other recurrent negative emotions such as a guilt and shame. All of these symptoms can make it extremely difficult to concentrate on schoolwork, particularly in a traditional classroom where a teacher may be responsible for 20 students or more.
PTSD can impact students of all ages. Preschool-aged children have been seen to regress in regard to expected developmental milestones and may be hesitant to part from their parents or guardians to attend school. As students grow up, they often become more cognizant of the disorder and can become withdrawn and self conscious about the challenges they face, making it more difficult for educators to reach them.
Of course, each student is an individual and may experience none, all, or some of these or other issues. To learn about how the therapeutic staff at Chamberlain International School supports students as they navigate the difficulties presented by PTSD, please visit www.chamberlainschool.org.
