“At home, He Was An Angel.
At school, He Was A Storm.”
At home, Rohit was calm.
- He sat quietly with toys.
- Ate his food neatly.
- Followed simple routines.
Everyone said:
“Such a good boy.
So peaceful.”
But at school?
- He screamed during circle time
- Hid under desks during loud activities
- Cried inconsolably after lunch
- Refused to participate in group play
“We thought the school was the problem.
But we realized — it was the environment.”
🧠 Why Meltdowns Happen In One Place — And Not Another
At Pinnacle® chennai (Perungudi), child psychologists explain:
“Children with sensory processing difficulties or autism may survive comfortably in the predictable, quiet environment of home.
But when they face the noise, unpredictability, smells, demands, and chaos of school —
their system overloads.”
Signs include:
- Calmness at home, meltdown in school
- Difficulty transitioning between activities
- Refusing group activities but managing solo play
- Emotional crashes during overstimulating environments (crowds, bells, playground)
- Behavioral misinterpretations: “naughty,” “defiant,” “spoiled”
“It’s not inconsistency.
It’s an environmental sensory mismatch.”
📞 The Day They Stopped Blaming The Teacher
One afternoon, after Rohit ran out of his classroom during art time —
his parents were called urgently.
Everyone was worried.
Everyone was confused.
Except for one teacher, who quietly asked:
“Has he ever been screened for sensory processing?”
That night, they called 9100 181 181.
The counselor said:
“He isn’t bad. He’s overloaded.
Let’s map where the storm begins.”
They scheduled a free AbilityScore©® Sensory Screening.

He wasn’t choosing meltdown.

💬 What His parents Now Say
“Home was his safe island.
But school taught him to sail.
And Pinnacle® built the bridge between the two.”
