DSM5 is a resource with all the mental illness and diagnostic criteria listed (look on BlackBoard)
Powerpoint Notes: 1. EBD is an emotional disorder characterized by excesses, deficits or disturbances of behavior. The child's difficulty is emotionally based and cannot be adequately explained by intellectual, cultural, sensory general health factors, or other additional exclusionary factors Eligibility and Placement. 2. Inappropriate behaviors are behaviors that are interfering with what is supposed to be happening at that time. (i. screaming/shouting during quiet work time/learning time is inappropriate, but screaming/shouting at a baseball game is appropriate) Behaviors can be appropriate in a different setting (are these students aware that this behavior is inappropriate in this setting/environment) a. Ex. Student learns from his Dad how to ‘pee’ outside at home. The student then displays this behavior at school on the playground. 3. Always ask yourself what the student’s culture is. Some behaviors are culture specific and for them are normal and appropriate. a. Ex. Eye contact (in some countries and cultures eye contact is considered very rude, whereas in other cultures it is important to be able to have and hold good eye contact) 4. Characteristics of EBD a. Learning i. Range of intellectual abilities, chronic school failure, absenteeism, grade retention, school dropout b. Social i. Difficulty building and, maintaining relationships ii. Aggressive behaviors, experience rejection, externalizing and internalizing behaviors c. Language/Communication i. Deficits in the areas of pragmatics, receptive and expressive language and limited or inappropriate language use 5. Classification systems include Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) used in partnership with observation of behavior over time and on multiple settings to become secure in possible clinical classification/diagnosis.
