It further provides highly practical methods for working effectively with these students in a variety of settings-from the general education classroom to specialized intervention programs. With the goal of helping students develop school behaviors that promote academic and behavioral success, this resource carefully examines key assumptions to consider when working with this student population; major psychological issues students experiencing EBD may face; key methods for providing teacher-student and peer relationships that support psychological health and academic engagement for these students; and methods for developing specialized interventions to support students with EBD. This comprehensive textbook is focused on helping the reader develop a conceptual framework for supporting students with EBD, a better understanding of the nature of EBD, and strategies for implementing research-based methods and interventions when helping these students.
