Document Summary
12 facts about emotional behavior disorders (and emotional disturbance): Having emotional disturbance is not always the same as having emotional or behavioral disorders. Emotional disturbance is a specific label provided by a school that makes a student eligible for special education services. A student with an emotional or behavioral disorder may not necessarily qualify for services under the emotional disturbance category. Students classified with emotional disturbance must meet specific criteria for an extended time. Their school performance may be hindered by: Inappropriate behaviors, inability to keep or build relationships with peers and teachers, a pervasive mood of unhappiness, and a tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears related to personal or school problems. 0. 72% of students ages 8 to 21 receive special education for emotional disturbance (13-14 school year) Studies show that there are probably more students who require services for emotional disturbance than those who are actually being served.
