Justin is an inquisitive nine-year-old who likes going to school. He loves to play with other children, but doesn’t really know how. His boisterous behaviour often ends in fights. During class, Justin has difficulty concentrating. He is very easily distracted by anything he hears or sees. His parents must often pick him up from school before the end of the school day due to fighting or other challenging behaviour. Although his teachers and parents know he is capable of learning, they can’t seem to create a productive learning environment for Justin.
Annie de Groot (CCE) and her team of consultants focus on Justin’s sensory processing. Will they find a way to address his hallenging behaviour? Or will Justin have to leave school?
