PSP 247 When OCD is Misdiagnosed as Learning Issues
Listen now
Description
OCD doesn’t just stay in our home, it likes to wreak havoc in all areas of life, including at school.  OCD intrusive thoughts and compulsions can make a child look like they: Struggle to read Struggle to write Struggle to do math equations  Struggle to complete assignments Struggle with comprehension Struggle with focus Struggle with expression Struggle with problem-solving Sometimes these struggles look like learning difficulties, and often it is just that. But sometimes it’s OCD hiding in disguise. In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I discuss how OCD can quietly sabotage our child’s learning and how to identify if that’s an issue. *** This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.
