This text is designed to help teachers and service providers work
successfully with children who exhibit emotional and behavioral
disorders by affording them a repertoire of valuable, evidence-based
treatment strategies. Furthermore, because the book represents a
synthesis of expertise, written from the dual perspectives of an
experienced clinician and an educator, the school professional who reads
it will better understand the role of both teacher and service provider,
thus optimizing the coordination and effectiveness of the services that
are critical to the success of these students.
'Working with Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders: A Guide
for K-12 Teachers and Service Providers' explores the most prevalent
behavioral disorders encountered by school professionals as they work
with today's students. These high-incidence behavioral disorders are
addressed by type, and each includes a discussion of the relevant
characteristics, causes, prevalence, and treatment strategies. Features
that are unique to this book include its acknowledgement of the need for
a collaborative approach to these problems by all school professionals,
as well as the coordination of services provided by the classroom
teacher and other service providers working with these students. To
date, few books, if any, have provided this holistic perspective.
This book is designed to help K-12 teachers and related service
providers (i.e., school psychologists, school social workers,
speech-language pathologists, guidance counselors, and occupational
therapists) work successfully with children who exhibit emotional and
behavioral disorders by affording them a repertoire of valuable,
evidence-based treatment strategies.
