Extracted text: MAKE A DECISION: What do you think is the best course of action for Cory, his parents, and the school? a. Cory will always have social challenges. He should be encouraged to participate in social skills training, but realize he will have to learn to live within the constraints of his disability. b. Cory would benefit from some extra assistance such as social skills training either individually or in a group. He should also be provided with at least a part-time aide who can guide him with social interactions. c. Cory should probably be completely removed from mainstream programs temporarily until he can learn the social skills he needs to function in a general setting. d. Cory appears to be unable to function when mainstreamed. He should either be home-schooled or placed in a special school designed for children with disorders such as schizophrenia. Think about the issues that influenced your recommendation for Cory. Why did you choose the option that you did? Consider the following issues in your response: · How important are peer relationships for adolescents? What happens to students who are ostracized? · How are the symptoms of childhood onset schizophrenia related to socialization? How can childhood onset schizophrenia be treated and what are the typical outcomes? What kinds of social challenges do adolescents with schizophrenia face? How important are social networks to people with schizophrenia? What might happen to Cory if he is unable to develop the skills he needs to maintain friendships?
