Overexcitabilities - Overexcitabilities are when someone becomes overwhelmed with their social and emotional needs. This may present itself in psychomotor, sensual, intellectual, imaginational, and emotional. This can lead to all sorts of difficulties when it comes to learning. If a student is worried about something happening to people half way across the world or if she cannot concentrate because the class is too noisy, this is going to affect academic achievement. This ToddCast discusses what overexcitabilities are, how to look for them, and strategies that can be used to help with them.
