School years can represent the opportunity for both positive and negative experiences, depending on many factors such as the relationship of the child with the family, classmates, teachers and even the school administration and staff. Sometimes, learning difficulties from neurodiversity, different social or cultural background, or even some physical disability or mental health condition might hinder the child’s performance at school, affecting not only future professional perspectives but self-confidence and social relationships. An extremely important professional called Case Manager can be there to analyse the situation and strategize solutions to minimise negative factors or even improve underperforming activities.
