Oppositional Defiance Disorder and Conduct Disorder are two disorders that are becoming very difficult in the classroom to maintain. Researchers have estimated that 6-16% of the population may be diagnosed with ODD or CD. Some researchers have even stated that 1 in 100 students may have these disorders. Early intervention is the key for these guys. Applying strategies at a very early age can be a decisive factor in how they learn to cope as they go through life. Here is a site that focuses on the perspective of a parent with a son who has ODD. I have also included a case study example for further discussion.

Proactive ideas and strategies to help teachers, childcare workers, administrators, afterschool care and parents effectively work with children who have or have not been diagnosed with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder), ADHD, and ODD. This site is about advocating for positive and collaborative methods that encourage and celebrate diversity and best practice! Changing beliefs and attitudes from one of deficit to one of strength with an emphasis on children achieving their personal best.
