Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
ODD – Turning Resistance into Resilience
At Educare Compass, we recognize that oppositional and defiant behavior is often a signal of deeper emotional struggles—not simply "bad behavior." Children and teenagers with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) may regularly challenge authority, argue, or act out—but beneath the surface is a young person seeking to be understood, accepted, and supported.
Our approach focuses on building trust, emotional regulation, and positive communication. Through individualized counseling, behavior management strategies, and social-emotional skill development, we help students move from reaction to reflection—replacing defiance with cooperation and anger with self-awareness.
We also work closely with families and schools to create consistent environments that reinforce positive behavior, reduce conflict, and foster mutual respect.
Because with patience, empathy, and the right guidance, resistance can transform into resilience—and every child can learn to thrive.
