G. Selvi Claire Vellut, Dr. Sujathamalini

Abstract :

One of the objectives of education is to understand the needs of the students and their problems at all levels. The problems of the students are to be realized in suitable ways so as to assist them with proper corrective measures for their growth and development. If the problems of the students are not identified and corrected at an earlier stage, then the situation will become worse in due course and will disrupt the life of not only the students but also the persons around them. Oppositional Defiant Disorder is one of the disruptive behavior disorders which disrupt the every day functioning of the children in many ways. This study aims to provide remedial strategies to overcome the symptomatic behaviors of Oppositional Defiant Disorder of students at Secondary level. 60 students identified with Oppositional Defiant Disorder at Secondary level were selected as sample for the study (30 as experimental and 30 as control group) and the remedial strategies were adopted on the experimental group. The findings of the study reveal that the symptomatic behaviors of Oppositional Defiant Disorder of students at Secondary level were reduced significantly due to the implementation of the remedial strategies.
