Agyrophobia this is the phobia that make you afraid to crossing the street. People with this phobia can't go outside the house and they will be isolated from the community. What will be the best way to approach this people? Maybe teach them with online school?

For all the phobic conditions, best treatment will be psychological treatment called "systematic desensitization" with which someone will phobia will be allowed to get exposure to the condition they are afraid of in graded exposure.

Online school will further isolate those children. I would say practical school is better, you don't need to teach everything in school, but take the child by holding hand and showing him / her the world. Taking personal care is the best.

i agree with bowman, you dont HAVE to learn everything in school, and yes of course it might damage the childs future a bit, but all phobia's are like that, all you can do is try to reduce the danger.

I really don't know what to say about this phobia. Maybe the only thing that can help if you have some trusted friend or family to help you cross the streat and tell you everything will be alright. That's the onley thing I can think of right now.

I say all phobia's are similair because they are all phobia's...
I think therapy could help too though.

Agyrophobia is the mental phobia in which people have fear to cross roads and hence they cannot go outside their homes.They are isolated from the society and remain devoid of the surroundings.This type of phobia can only be cured by psychiatric treatment and escaping the person from the jaws of fear.

Abnormal and persistent fear of crossing streets, highways and other thoroughfares; fear of thoroughfares themselves. Sufferers experience anxiety even though they realize that streets, highways and other thoroughfares pose no threat commensurate with their fear.

Formed from the Greek "gyrus" (turning or whirling) and the Greek "phobos" (fear). The first letter, "a," is privative--that is, it creates a negative. Thus, an agyrophobiac shuns or avoids the whirl of traffic.
