Study Notes

Brief History of EBD

Special education's history is closely linked with psychology and psychiatry.
In the 19th century, EBD was thought to be caused by environmental factors like parenting practices.
Treatment methods included proper sensory stimulation, discipline, and instruction, but often involved cruel practices such as forced labor.
In the 1800s, individuals were frequently institutionalized in reform schools or asylums.

Early 20th Century Developments

The first teacher training program for EBD began in Michigan in 1914.
Educational and psychological testing gained prevalence.
School psychology, guidance, and counseling began to emerge as fields.
Child psychiatry became established, but educational programs for EBD remained uncommon, primarily targeting delinquent children.
The Bradley Home, the first psychiatric hospital for children, opened in Rhode Island in 1931.

Mid to Late 20th Century Progression

The 1950s saw the publication of the first book on EBD and a specialization in the education of these students.
Conceptual models emerged, recommending special education teachers address psychological disturbances.
Interest in educating children with severe EBD grew during the 1960s and 1970s.
Behavior modification techniques, particularly Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), became widely applied.
The 1990s marked the rise of the full inclusion movement.

21st Century Challenges

Ongoing challenges encompass questions of who, how, and where individuals with EBD should be served.
Early identification and prevention are critical, yet many educators adopt a "wait and see" approach until problems escalate.
Early signs of EBD often go unrecognized and treatments are delayed due to socioeconomic factors such as poverty, abuse, and inconsistent discipline.
Comprehensive, community-based services integrating various social programs are necessary.

Antisocial and Violent Behavior Discussion

The line between antisocial behavior as a disability versus criminal behavior is debated; educational appropriateness is questioned.
Tolerance levels of inappropriate behavior in classrooms require consideration of educational placement options.
Methods for managing antisocial and violent behavior must focus on academic and social skill instruction.

Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)

FBA aims to identify the functions of a student's misbehavior, providing insights for teaching alternative acceptable behaviors.
Misbehavior is often linked to underlying issues like frustration or boredom, needing detailed assessment for effective intervention.

Placement Options (Least Restrictive Environment)

There is an ongoing debate regarding the inclusion of EBD students in general education classrooms.
Placement options include:
- Regular classrooms with additional support.
- Specialized programs within regular schools.
- Self-contained classes or special day schools.
- Homebound instruction and facilities in juvenile detention centers.

Transition to Work and Education

Transitioning students with EBD to work or further education poses questions about curricular and placement options.

Legal Developments

Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 mandated free public education for all students with disabilities.
IDEA of 1990 shifted terminology from "handicapped" to "disabilities" and emphasized transition planning.
IDEA Amendments of 1997 specified the need for proactive Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) based on FBA outcomes.
