Designing an intergenerational program between high school students and nursing home residents
Students with behavioral problems generally have emotional difficulties. The problem is that students with psychical disabilities are given attention and included, but students with emotional disabilities (of which behavioral problems are a result) appear the same as others and are, therefore, excluded. This aggravates their situation. They need an emphatic, listening ear and someone who cares for them. They are usually not given this in the anonymity and largeness of the school setting (Hewitt). My program advocates the matching of the student with emotional difficulties to one or more elderly individuals who will take an interest in them and communicate with them. The interaction will not only benefit both but will provide this student with the social support and social connection that he so much needs potentially leading to diminishment of his behavioral problems.
