    Study Notes

    Definition and Characteristics of EBD

    • Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (EBD) impact educational performance and social interactions.
    • Criteria for EBD include:
      • Inability to explain learning difficulties by intellectual or health factors.
      • Difficulty in maintaining relationships with peers and teachers.
      • Inappropriate behavior or feelings in typical situations.
      • General pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression.
      • Development of physical symptoms or fears tied to personal or school issues.
    • Criticism exists regarding the academic performance requirement for EBD classification, leading to confusion.

    Proposed Definitions of EBD

    • New definition emphasizes:
      • Emotional or behavioral responses contrary to age or cultural norms.
      • Consistent issues observed across two settings, including school.
      • Persistent problems despite targeted interventions.
      • Co-existence with other disabilities.
    • Includes a wide range of disorders, focusing on reducing stigma and acknowledging cultural differences.

    Behavioral Measurement and Labels

    • EBD involves behavioral excesses or deficiencies.
    • Teachers must objectively measure both academic and social behaviors using observation and assessment tools.
    • Alternative descriptors for EBD include socially challenged, behaviorally impaired, and emotionally disturbed.

    Nature of EBD

    • EBD is often temporary and can evolve during a child's development.
    • Many issues in young children may resolve unless characterized by significant aggression or destructiveness.

    Causes of EBD

    • Causes are multifactorial, involving biological, psychological, and environmental components:
      • Biological factors include neurotransmitter imbalances, genetics, infections, and prenatal damage.
      • Psychological factors may involve dysfunctional family dynamics, early trauma, or neglect.
      • Environmental influences include school failure and peer relationships.
    • Teachers play a role in altering the environment to support students with EBD effectively.

    Prevalence and Identification of EBD

    • Prevalence refers to the total number of individuals identified with EBD in a population; incidence refers to new cases.
    • Approximately 482,597 students aged 6-21 are reported with EBD.
    • Estimates suggest 0.5% to over 20% of school populations may experience EBD, leading to challenges in precise identification.
    • More boys (80%) than girls are identified, with a peak identification age between 12 and 14 due to rising social challenges.

    Identification Challenges

    • Delays exist in identifying EBD, with significant time lags for mood and anxiety disorders.
    • There is widespread under-identification of students with EBD due to numerous factors:
      • Stigma associated with labeling.
      • Inconsistencies in identification processes.
      • Limited funding and resources for proper support services.
      • Confusion between EBD and socially maladjusted behaviors.

    Dimensions of EBD

    • Externalizing behaviors involve aggression or disruptive actions.
    • Internalizing behaviors consist of social withdrawal or depressive symptoms.
    • Students may exhibit a combination of both behavior types.
