Sažetak
In this paper, we present the treatment of a girl (10) who is in therapy because of low selfesteem and problems in the school environment due to difficulties in exercising rights to an individualized approach regarding her reading and writing difficulties. Her mother and the girl claim that the teacher shows no understanding for the girl’s difficulties and their relationship is not improving. The girl shows signs of disharmonious development ; despite her language difficulties, she shows above-average non-verbal intelligence, emotional immaturity and anxiety. She lives in an intact family with a sister (without difficulties). After a multidisciplinary assessment and two months of psychological treatment (once a week), communicating with her school’s professional service, the teacher publicly reads her essay in front of the whole class as an example of how not to write essays. Immediately after that, and one month before the end of the school year, the girl refuses to write any essays or written exams, which makes finishing the fourth grade much more difficult. Considering it was necessary to urgently encourage the girl to write, so that she would successfully finish the school year, in addition to crisis intervention, a smart board was also used. With guidance and support from the psychologist, the girl started writing on the smart board in one session ; she was also in continual treatment and the school was also contacted.
