Abstract & Intro
~Research Proposal in a nutshell
Introduction
High-Achieving students with mental health
issues sometimes fall through the cracks of
standard support systems like Section 504
There appears to be a gap in what a 504 can offer for a student like this, and I propose that we look
more into what we can do to support them. This will allow us to better understand how to approach not
only their situation, but also other students in similar situations.
Framing of Study
Literature
Review
“1 in 200
…of young people suffers from OCD”
(Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week, 2004)
“There was an increase in OCD
symptoms during the pandemic, with
a proportion of patients identifying
either COVID-19 or lockdown as
contributing factors”
— (Bennett, 2022)
Therapeutic Approaches
