EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCES NATOSHA BEARY AMERICAN COLLEGE OF EDUCATION SPED 5013: STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING DIVERSE LEARNERS DR. MEGAN LEE JANUARY 22, 2024 1

INTRODUCTION According to IDEA, an Emotional Behavioral Disorder (EBD) is a condition exhibiting one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree that adversely affects a child’s educational performance (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 2017) : • An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors. • An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers. • Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances. • A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression. • A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems. Students with EBD struggle to maintain appropriate behaviors within the classroom, which affects their ability to access the curriculum. These behaviors are measured by the intensity, duration, and frequency, which also drives the support provided in a general education setting. 2
