ADDRESSING ACADEMIC AND BEHAVIORAL CHALLENGES IN ADOLESCENTS: A MULTI-CASE STUDY APPROACH

Abstract

Introduction Challenges experienced in learning outcomes comprise adolescent academic disengagement, emotional regulation difficulties, and social issues. This multi-case study focuses on five students with psychological and educational problems, such as learning disabilities, emotional dysregulation, social anxiety, and low self-esteem. The study was conducted by combining previously developed standardized psychological tests, direct behavior observations, structured intervention plans, and some other methods to determine key risk factors for psychodiagnostic challenges. After Gathering Information, each of the cases was approached using evidence-based intervention strategies, rather more accurately known as psychoeducation with cognitive behavioral techniques, social skills training, parenting sessions, etc. Targeted, structured interventions show significant improvement in academic performance, emotional regulation, and peer interactions. A recommendation is made for adolescents to undergo early psychological assessments, as well as to implement holistic intervention models within the school system to ensure the development and  resilience of adolescents.
