About Education of persons with Emotional and Behavioral Problems
This course will provide essential concepts in the field of behavior and emotional disorders for students. The course will identify the social, emotional, and learning characteristics of children having been identified with behavior disorders. A developmental focus, involving both biological and experiential underpinnings of the disorders will further be discussed in order to understand the multiplicity of factors which give rise to the problems children manifest. In addition, the course will consider effective instructional methods for these students and the school settings in which they appear to learn well. Goals and objectives, as well as the instructional strategies employed in teaching will be incorporated in the individual education plan (IEP) process for individuals demonstrating these problems.
