When a student has a behavioral disorder, then an instructor sensitive to the student's situation might bring out great rewards in the learning process for the student. One example might be anxiety before and during exams. The instructor might tutor the student separately, teaching them ways how to study and teaching them to be relaxed during the exam. Being prepared way before the test start, doing breathing techniques, or asking others at home to review the exam with them, might also be very helpful. Also thoughts of clouding one's minds with negativity of not being able to succeed on the test should be avoided. Group study might also be helpful.
I guess there are many many paths an insructor can take or follow to help a student succeed. And I think it is an opportunity any instructor should embrace and challenge, how hard it may be.
