Psychosis Disorders

At no time should a non-medical practitioner like a teacher, educational assistant etc. offer a diagnosis, or comment on the potential of a diagnosis for a child in their care. As a teacher or educational assistant, it is your responsibility to report behaviours of concern to either the child's parents, or a member of your school health team and /or administration. This is an important distinction and one that must be completely understood. If you are unsure of your role, you should speak with your school administration to clarify your responsibilities.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

• assistance and support in organizing things
• access to fidget tools
• frequent communication with students' primary care givers is essential
• during a psychotic episode, safety and support are the two primary considerations
  • such as backup procedures in place in case the student needs to be removed from the classroom
