#Spedchat A1: I was music therapy major in college & did clinicals in psych setting, but still always need more training in mental health!

DHHteacherISin Mar 21 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A2: I've got a good background, but there's always something to learn. One approach may work better for 1 than another. #spedchat

RachelH872 Mar 21 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A2: Hard to say what PD I want. It's an ever-evolving topic. I want to stay current. #spedchat

RachelH872 Mar 21 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A2: A Bit. Ts realize it is an issue and Ss are often unfairly dealt with due to lack of training. More PD in managing Ss with MI #spedchat

#Spedchat Q3: What are some warning signs you’ve seen that may indicate your students are suffering from a mental health illness/issue?

cnicolemorris Mar 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

DHHteacherISin Mar 21 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A3: Withdrawal, defiance, poor attendance or academic performance - not 1 thing = mental health concern, but shd b monitored #spedchat

I could see that being very helpful. I often question if I'm doing the right thing. #spedchat

aboone_angie Mar 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: I see much more anxiety, more Ss diagnosed with mood disorders and bipolar disorder #spedchat

cnicolemorris Mar 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: sudden changes in behavior- more withdrawn, anxious, outbursts; ongoing anxiety/withdrawn/outburst #Spedchat

Oh my gosh, the attendance issues! YES! Such a HUGE red flag of mental health issues or something happening w/students!! #spedchat
