Middle childhood
Therefore, training of teachers about the condition
and increased support in the classroom is impor-
tant. Behavioural interventions include class
placement, and the promotion of structure and
routines in the classroom, and during breaktimes
and play activities. Setting small, achievable goals
can have a positive effect on self-esteem. Finally,
educational psychologists can provide advice on
the management of specific educational difficulties
and appropriate school placement for children
with more complex difficulties.
