Abstract
Children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) demonstrate challenges in initiating and maintaining positive peer interactions. Experiencing insecure attachment with caregivers can contribute to children’s presentation of ODD. Furthermore, children who have ODD experience negative peer interactions and challenges in social inclusion that impact their ability to connect and engage in healthy relationships. The aim of this capstone is to provide an in-depth exploration of the impact of attachment insecurity on development ODD. A culturally inclusive lens is used to conceptualize families from a broader view and to suggest community integration as a resource for children who have ODD. In the final chapter, a presentation resource is proposed for counsellors to support counsellors in utilizing community resources for children experiencing ODD.
