I have learned a lot about the different types of PTSD onset. It is important to get to know your student that has PTSD to make sure that you are helping to make their life easier instead of adding additional stress to their life. TBI's are caused by trauma to the brain. I wonder how many TBI's go unnoticed within high school football and how that can lead to Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
It has some really good information. Also the sign and symptoms commonly seen.
Recognizing the effects of TBI and PTSD isn't easy. Getting your students to open up about what barriers may come from these issues is also challenging. This module has defined some symptoms associated with both that I hadn't realized as of yet. This information will help me better assess where these barriers may inhibit the success of the students in my class, as well as help me more quickly identify those students affected. Understanding more about some of the side effects could also help me better assist my students in their training requirements necessary to complete my course successfully.
I have learned the different ways of PTSD onset, the behavioral symptoms and variations of the disorder.
Teaching students with PTSD is a process depending upon the form of PTSD, and whether or not there are varying occuring or re-occuring symptoms which may mimic laziness, and attitude.
Taking time with students with PTSD, understanding their symptoms and their challenges can make it easier for them and the instructor in successful classroom perfomance. Also, suggesting further care for symptoms management, with knowledge, understanding and respect can allow for the student to not feel alienated and may provide assistance with their initiation attempts.
