Inclusive Education for Conduct Disorder | Cadabam’s CDC
Every parent wants their child to feel safe, valued, and able to learn. When a student has Conduct Disorder (CD), that goal can feel out of reach in a mainstream classroom. Inclusive education for Conduct Disorder bridges the gap by keeping the child in a regular academic setting while giving the right clinical, behavioural, and emotional supports. At Cadabams CDC, we have spent 30+ years refining a model that keeps lessons on track and behaviours in check—without isolating the child.

Conduct Disorder vs. Oppositional Defiant Disorder in Schools
Educators often blur the lines. Our team clarifies:
| Diagnostic Point | Conduct Disorder | Oppositional Defiant Disorder |
|---|---|---|
| Aggression to people/animals | Often present | Rare |
| Deceit or theft | Often present | Absent |
| Intervention intensity | Tier 3 (intensive) | Tier 2 (targeted) |
This clarity drives our conduct disorder classroom accommodations:
- For CD, we embed daily social-skills coaching.
- For ODD, twice-weekly check-ins suffice.

Success Stories
Case Study 1 – 8-Year-Old with Overt Aggression
Arjun (name changed) hit peers 11× per week in Grade 2. After 10 weeks in our program, aggressive incidents fell to 1× per fortnight. His reading level jumped an entire grade because he could stay in class instead of in the principal’s office.
Case Study 2 – 12-Year-Old with Covert Behaviours
Sneaking phones, lying, and truancy had become daily habits. Using covert behavior tracking, a peer-buddy system, and parent-training webinars, we cut school refusal by 80% in one term. She now serves as a student librarian.
