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.
