Daan didn’t have an easy childhood. His parents were unable to raise him. And although he loved his foster parents, he often got in trouble. At a young age, he was diagnosed with ADHD and a few years later also with ODD. When got expelled from school, started using marijuana, and became involved in criminal activities, it was decided to commit him to a youth care institution.
Daan didn’t improve there. He still got into many – sometimes violent – conflicts. These were never his fault, he always blamed others. Neither his carers, nor his foster parents knew what to do anymore.
When Vanessa Olivier-Pijpers (CCE) got involved, she dug more deeply into Daan’s case. Once she worked out what was really causing Daan´s challenging behaviour, successful interventions could be created.
