When a difficulty appears alongside high capacities, the goal is not to defend a label or correct a personality. It is to understand one situation, protect wellbeing, and agree on a small next step that can be reviewed.
Define the difficulty without turning it into identity#
Define the difficulty without turning it into identity: criterio 1.1. Start by separating the event from the interpretation. Note what happened, how long it lasted, what was requested, and which support was available. Saying “the student froze when starting a new problem” leaves room to investigate; saying “they cannot tolerate frustration” closes the conversation. This difference reduces blame and gives family, school, and student shared language. En este apartado, centre la conversación en the specific demand.

Define the difficulty without turning it into identity: criterio 1.1. Start by separating the event from the interpretation.
Define the difficulty without turning it into identity: criterio 1.2. Then ask what changed before the difficulty appeared. There may be an unclear instruction, noise, hurry, repetitive work, fear of mistakes, or an expectation that is too high. The task is not to find one cause. It is to form modest hypotheses and test them through observation over several days. En este apartado, centre la conversación en the time of day.

Define the difficulty without turning it into identity: criterio 1.3. The next step should be limited and visible: split the task, offer a choice, anticipate a transition, agree on a pause, or clarify what counts as finished. Say who will do it, when, and how its effect will be known. An adjustment that increases participation, curiosity, or rest is worth keeping; one that increases tension should change without punishment.
