Those who believe that psychological rehabilitation precedes educational rehabilitation to achieve learning goals
I totally agree that psychological rehabilitation should be prioritized over the educational one. Building a good human psychology certainly leads to very fruitful results, especially in the field of education.
I co-taught business English communication and directed a psychophysiology laboratory research project at a university using Russian pedagogy tactics with undergraduate students. Their technique is a little different. If a student has qualified to enter the program the focus is on getting the student past the mental trap/obstacle hindering their learning, though this does not mean sending them to a counselor nor psychologist. Instead routinely undergraduate instructors took on the role of a military style drill sergeant, making the student, along with others, focus on finishing properly a physical task, like standing up and doing jumping jacks so they focus on their body and keeping up as a team, or writing with a pen what the instructor dictated, redirecting focus on the instructor. Then returning to the discussion and question segment that the troublesome student interrupted or acted strangely to, as if nothing occurred and not isolating that troubled student from the group. In this manner the students usually aided the troubled student to focus, without the instructor bringing negative attention to the one student. This is in accordance with Federal law No. 273-FZ "On education in Russian Federation" pedagogical activity of the teacher requires the presence of special knowledge in the field of training and education of children with disabilities.
