    Emotional and behavioral disorders (EBDs) refer to a category of disorders including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and others. Historically, those with EBDs were thought to be possessed, and early institutions resembled jails. The 1975 Education for All Handicapped Children Act and later IDEA mandated education for students with EBDs. While causes are unknown, theories include heredity, abuse, and stress. EBDs affect 10-15% of children globally and manifest as internalizing behaviors like withdrawal and depression or externalizing behaviors like aggression and noncompliance. Schools address EBDs through inclusion, alternative settings, or clinical programs with a focus on motivation, conflict resolution, and crisis intervention

    Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (EBDs)

    Historical Significance
    o Previously called mentally ill, psychopathology, behaviorally disordered
    o In 1988, the National Mental Health and Special Education Coalition
    adopted the term emotional and behavioral disorders (EBDs)
    o People used to think that people with EBDs were possessed by either evil
    or divine spirits
    o Early asylums or madhouses were similar to jails in that patients were
    often shackled or chained to the wall.
    o 1975, the Education for all Handicapped Children Act was passed.

    Mandated more attention for students with EBDs

    o IDEA was important because it specified that if you are removing them
    from schools for disciplinary reasons then you couldnt deny them
    alternate educational opportunities.

    Key Research Based Strategies

    o Students with EBDs have a tendency to hold negative attitudes toward


    school. Because of this they often lack desire to try and succeed. In
    order to avoid off-task behavior, teachers should take steps to
    motivate these students to actively participate in the learning
    environment
    o Some ways this can be done:

    The Conflict Resolution Program

    Designed to help students work through conflicts by


    creating safe classrooms

    Focuses on problem solving

    Peer-to-peer conflict resolution

    Life Space Crisis Intervention

    Program in which teachers learn to identify and defuse


    classroom crises

    Focus placed on being supportive of students emotions

    Proved very successful with nondisabled students as


    well as those with EBDs

    SODA approach

    Step-by-step strategy designed to teach children


    successful social interactions both inside and outside
    the classroom

    Used mostly with Asperger Syndrome

    Stop, Observe, Deliberate, Act

    Special Education eligibility


    o Not able to have normal relationships with teachers or peers
    o Inability to learn
    o Regular/long-lasting occurrence of unacceptable behavior
    o Generally unhappy or depressed
    o Gets upset over personal or school issues to the point of physical
    symptoms
