OCD doesn’t just stay in our home, it likes to wreak havoc in all areas of life, including at school. 

OCD intrusive thoughts and compulsions can make a child look like they:

Struggle to read Struggle to write Struggle to do math equations  Struggle to complete assignments Struggle with comprehension Struggle with focus Struggle with expression Struggle with problem-solving

Sometimes these struggles look like learning difficulties, and often it is just that. But sometimes it’s OCD hiding in disguise.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I discuss how OCD can quietly sabotage our child’s learning and how to identify if that’s an issue.
