Re: Anxiety and Children with CHARGE Tim

Hello Ellen,

I'm sure that TIm will jump in here with excellent references to articles, but

in the meantime, here is one reference you can check:

It is an abstract describing treatment approaches for a child with CHARGE who is

said to have an anxiety disorder and makes reference to the positive things that

have helped. The article is from the 2005 journal that looked solely at

behavior in CHARGE.

There are other articles in the same special CHARGE Americal Journal of Clinica

Genetics issue which refer to anxiety.

Googling CHARGE and anxiety on Google Scholar or Pubmed will draw up many

references.

I agree with what has been said so far that the school has a definite

responsibility here whether this is seen as a special education issue or a

regular education issue. What is important is addressing the difficult issues

that is faced with by the attitudes expressed by the other students. It is

important to understand the anxiety issue and to know what options are available

to help ameliorate the condition.

Best to you and .

Anxiety and Children with CHARGE

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for an article or paper written about Anxiety and

children with CHARGE. is being teased by students in his class

and our director of Special Ed does not feel that 's fear of going

to school, going out because he might run into them and asking to move

has a negative impact on his education. She feels this is a regular

Ed problem not disability related and the school counselor is using

this book about 5 incredible steps. They are sure will be fine

when using these steps.

The director feels I am exaggerating 's meltdowns. holds it

together until he gets home because the kids tease him if he cries.

So if anyone has any articles they can direct me to it would be

greatly appreciated

Thanks

Ellen mom to 9
