🧍♂️ “He Bit His Classmate. Then He Got Sent Home. Again.”
Ritesh was 4.
Smart. Playful. Curious.
But unpredictable.
He couldn’t sit in circle time.
Threw toys. Hid under tables when asked to write.
Hit another child when the teacher raised her voice.
“We thought it was a phase,” said his mother, Sneha.
“Until we got the call: ‘We’re asking you to withdraw him. He’s too disruptive.’”
❌ A Suspension at 4 Years Old Isn’t a red Card — It’s a red Flag
At Pinnacle® hyderabad East, child behavior therapists explain:
Children aren’t suspended because they’re bad.
They’re suspended because adults haven’t understood them yet.
And in most cases, these children are:
- On the autism spectrum
- Living with ADHD
- Navigating sensory overload
- Experiencing communication delays
“They’re punished for what they can’t yet explain. That’s not discipline. That’s despair.”
📞 sneha Called 9100 181 181 — Not to Complain. But to Understand.
Within hours, her son was booked for an AbilityScore©® screening.
The report stunned her — and explained everything the school never could.
📊 Ritesh’s AbilityScore©® Results
- Emotional Regulation: 🔴 red Zone (480/1000)
- Sensory Processing: 🔴 red Zone
- Communication: 🟡 Yellow
- Learning Readiness: 🟡 Yellow
He wasn’t disobedient.
He was dysregulated — and no one had taught him what to do with all the feelings he couldn’t name.
🤖 Therapy That Knew More Than the school Did
Using TherapeuticAI©®, Ritesh’s plan included:
- Sensory integration routines before class
- Visual classroom behavior guides
- Calming corner tools + emotional vocabulary training
- OT sessions to improve body awareness
- Weekly zone tracking to update home + school plans
By week 5:
- No more suspensions
- He raised his hand to say “I need help”
- His teacher cried — and apologized
💬 “My Son Didn’t Need Discipline. He Needed Decoding.”
That’s what sneha tells other parents now.
“The school gave us fear. Pinnacle® gave us facts.”
🎯 This Autism Awareness Month — Let’s Reframe the ‘Difficult Child’
Children who:
- Hit
- Scream
- Hide
- Run
…aren’t always dangerous. They’re often drowning in noise, pressure, confusion, and fear.
And suspending them doesn’t solve the problem.
Screening them does.
