Get Ready for Special Education Research
Emerging Research and Issues in Behavioral Disabilities by ISBN: 9781787560857Publication Date: 2018-11-30The challenges associated with the education and treatment of children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) have proven to be both persistent and exceedingly complex. Thus, our best hope for improving outcomes for students with or at risk for EBD lies not in miracle cures or the eradication of all disorders, but in the incremental progress that furthers our understanding of the nature of EBD, enabling us to systematically refine interventions.
Disproportionality in Education and Special Education: A Guide to Creating More Equitable Learning Environment by ISBN: 9780398088026Publication Date: 2012-07-01Given the burgeoning number of diverse students in our nation's schools, coupled with the potentially negative outcomes and wasted resources associated with the misidentification of students for special education and excessive use of exclusionary discipline for specific subgroups of students, it is imperative that educational professionals understand and address the implications arising from disproportionality for children both with and without disabilities.
