Emotional and Behavioral Disturbance Emotional and Behavioral Disturbance (EBD) is one of the thirteen qualifications specified by the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). The qualification of EBD was implemented for students who struggled in the classroom due to behavioral complications and do not have a qualifying disability. In order to qualify a student as having an Emotional or Behavioral Disturbance, the student(s) must have exhibited the behaviors for a long period of time and the must meet one or more of the following characteristics, an inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors, inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances, a general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression, and a tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or academic problems. Emotional and Behavior Disturbance, could present itself in the classroom in many different ways, because, the term “EBD” is often referred to as an umbrella term, no two children who exhibits behaviors of EBD are going to act the same. For instance, students who have the mental disorder Anxiety many exhibit internalized behavior, this would include low-self-esteem, a tendency to self-harm, withdrawn and sad. However, a student with Opposition Defiant Disorder may exhibit external behaviors, they may intentionally irritate classmates and staff, they could also suffer from hyperactivity, impulsiveness, aggression,
In her complaint, the Parents allege that the Defendants are liable to her on a theory of Intentional Inflection of Emotional Distress (“IIED”). “IIED claims are ‘rarely viable in a case brought under Maryland law.’” Takacs v. Fiore, 473 F. Supp. 2d 647, 652 (D. Md. 2007) (quoting Robinson v. Cutchin, 140 F. Supp. 2d 488, 494 (D. Md. 2001)). In order for an IIED allegation to survive a motion to dismiss, a plaintiff must allege: “(1) The conduct must be intentional or reckless; (2) The conduct must be extreme and outrageous; (3) There must be a causal connection between the wrongful conduct and the emotional distress; [and] (4) The emotional distress must be severe.” Lasater v. Guttman, 194 Md. App. 431, 448 (2010).
There are four main factors of emotional and behavioral disorders; biological disorders and diseases, pathological family relationships, undesirable experiences at school, and negative cultural influences. Most students with EBD fall into the normal IQ range, but EDB can prevent students from performing their best. They are smarter than their tests show, but their disability holds them back from showing us their potential on said tests. EBD individuals normally have aggressive behavior and act out, as well as being immature, withdrawn
In this paper you will find several strategies the classroom teachers can use and implement in the classroom with their students who suffer from emotional and behavioral disorders. Selected interventions will provide information with the activities and assessments that will be used to help the teacher implement these procedures to help the students to become stronger socially, with cognitive and behavioral and emotional needs for our EBD students.
The article starts with the vignette, describing a behavior of a boy, who rejects teacher’s invitation to listen to a story on a rug with his classmates. Obviously, the boy described is not the only one to resist the authority of a teacher, because student defiance is a commonplace. Authors distinguish widespread milder forms of SD and Oppositional defiant disorder,
The IDEA lists 13 different disability categories which children and young adults aged 3-year-olds to 21-year-olds may be eligible for services. Emotional disturbance is one of the 13 disability categories under the IDEA and is the label Sarah was served under.

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is one of a group of behavioral disorders in the disruptive behavior disorders category. Children who have these disorders tend to be disruptive with a pattern of disobedient, hostile, and defiant behavior toward authority figures. These children often rebel, are stubborn, argue with adults, and refuse to obey. They have angry outbursts, have a hard time controlling their temper, and display a constant pattern of aggressive behaviors. ODD is one of the more common mental health disorders found in children and adolescents (AACAP, 2009). It is also associated with an increased risk for other forms of psychopathology, including other disruptive behavior disorders as well as mood or anxiety problems (Martel,
Oppositional Defiant Disorder is fairly prevalent, affecting 2-16% of children, with more boys affected than girls (WebMD, 2015). The disorder can occur in the teen years, with typical onset after the age of 8, but when age 18 is reached, other disorders such as Antisocial Personality Disorder are explored as a possibility
Oppositional defiant disorder involves consistently negativistic, hostile, and defiant behavior that is very disruptive with behavior.
There are two common type of disruptive behavior disorders that affects children lives in a negative fashion when not treated properly. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (2004) “Behaviors typical of disruptive behavior disorders can closely resemble ADHD particularly where impulsivity and hyperactivity are involved but ADHD, ODD, and CD are considered separate conditions that can occur independently. About one third of all children with ADHD have coexisting ODD, and up to one quarter have coexisting CD” .The two types of disruptive behavior disorders are oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder. Some symptoms of disruptive behavior disorder is breaking rules, defiant, argumentative, disobedient behaviors towards authority
EBD students are taught alternative or competing response that interfere with opportunities for unwanted behaviors. If a student with EBD already has an alternative response then they can add it to their repertoire, it can be strengthened, as they are to use the wanted behavior. A key point to note is that an EBD student using alternate response training must be able to self-monitor (Yell, Meadows, Drasgow & Shriner,
Oppositional Defiant Disorder is a serious condition which educators need to know how to address for the safety of the student, the other students and teacher. In the case of Jack, the situation has become extremely serious for everyone involves which makes it extremely important for educators to have a rich understanding of the behaviors, risk factors, and potential training supports associated with ODD.
The aim of this essay is to carefully examine the models, procedures, effectiveness, and limitations of the cognitive behavioral approach (CBA) for children with emotional behavioral behavior disorders. The essay discussion will include the procedures used in CBA. The essay will discuss each component and how they interrelate, emotions, thoughts & behaviors. The paper will look at the influence one component has on the others (e.g., what influence do emotions have on behaviors?). It will also review the effectiveness and the limitations of the CBA, including relevant information on teaching social skills. Finally, the essay will look at the considerations that are important to consider when developing curriculum approaches, and assessments,
Today in America, we are starting to see a new disorder for kids that would replace what many doctors and school's system were quick to call a real disease. It is the general expectation that children will develop prosocial tendencies. In this case, they are expected to obey their parents, teachers and other adults, and also be able to relate well with their peers. However, in some cases the prosocial behavior is lacking in some children and such individuals may develop Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) (Gichovi & Karume, 2014). ODD is distinct from the more severe Conduct Disorder. It distinguished from typical childhood misbehavior in that the problem behaviors do not diminish with age (Gichovi & Karume, 2014). DSM 5 has classified ODD symptoms into three; namely, angry/ irritable mood, argumentative, and vindictiveness (Gichovi & Karume, 2014). In the United States, these symptoms are evident in children who frequently and persistently throw tantrums, argue with any authority figure and do things to hurt others deliberately. Families and teachers in the United States face the enormous task of handling such children, yet they lack the
Students with emotional and behavioral disorder (EBD) exhibit various characteristics relevant to their identified diagnosis. The primary characteristic of students with EBD is problem behaviors are displayed at school, home, community, and other social settings. These problem behaviors are described professionally as externalizing and internalizing behaviors that students with EBD often engage in regularly. Externalizing behaviors are described as acting-out behaviors that are aggressive and/or disruptive that is observable as behaviors directed towards others. Internalizing behaviors are behaviors that are construed as acting-in behaviors such as anxiety, fearfulness, withdrawal, and other indications of an individual's mood or internal
While the presence of certain characteristics in children with behavioral disorders might sometimes seem discouraging but the bottom line is not to give up on any student in any case. Most of the times, children with behavioral and emotional problems might challenge a patience of teachers and cause temporary despair. In this situation, teachers require the support of others in supported students to succeed. The classroom is a learning community; therefore, it is very much significant to create a constructive atmosphere in the classroom. The successful behavior management in classroom can be improved by colleagues as well as by the family of the students. While considering the needs of students with behavioral and emotional problems, the paper aims to develop appropriate strategies for teaching students with behavioral disorders in the classroom.
