The systemic approach in the school environment makes it possible to think differently about difficulties at school; the child is no longer considered in isolation, but rather as an integral part of their context and the complexity of that context. This presentation will focus on signs of dysfunctional interactions within the classroom system or the school system in order to better understand behaviors previously labeled as inappropriate or pathological in children. We will address symptoms that arise at school in order to understand their meaning and communicative value. The role and importance of the people surrounding the child experiencing difficulties will also be highlighted.
