Abstract Learners with special needs experience myriad problems in general and special education. These problems range from minor academic, social, emotional, and behavioral problems to major disenfranchisements, disadvantages, and disillusionments. In addition, these problems can be very intense. As a result, they call for innovative and creative techniques that include using the Church as a spiritual tool in educational activities. As educators and health professionals who are also Christians, we believe using the Church can assist in remediating the plights of these learners with special needs and in maximizing their fullest potential in school and in life. This is the focus of this article.

Emotionally Disturbed Children

Increasingly, seriously handicapped students are returning to the schools and the use of psychotropic medications is on the rise with these and other emotionally disturbed children and adolescents. In an effort to improve the dialogue and cooperation within the physician/educator terms an overview of the history, philosophy, current practices and a look at the future of neurochemical treatments of children with emotional and behavioral problems, is presented. A separate review of available literature concerning medication effects on cognitive functioning and test results is presented. Psycho-pharmacology is and can be a useful treatment; however, the available supporting literature that has already been developed with adults is still largely missing with children and adolescents. Guidelines for the treatment team members to help assure proper prescribing and monitoring of medications to achieve maximum therapeutic effect with minimal side-effects are reviewed.

The Avoidance and Fusion Questionnaire for Youth (AFQ-Y8) was developed to measure psychological inflexibility. Although the questionnaire is a well-known tool in clinical practice, its psychometric properties have not been widely investigated in the target population of children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factor structure and validity of the AFQ-Y8 ( N = 1,572, mean age 15.39 years, girls 51%) on a Hungarian sample. We also tested the invariance of the measurement model across two age groups (11-14 and 15-20 years old). Results confirmed the single-factor structure of the AFQ-Y8. Psychological inflexibility was also found to be positively related to emotional instability, externalizing, and internalizing problems. Furthermore, psychological inflexibility explained the variance of life satisfaction when personality dimensions, emotional, and behavioral problems were accounted for. Measurement invariance across age groups was partially supported. These results suggest that the AFQ-Y8 is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing psychological inflexibility in children and adolescents.
