Emotional Behavior Disability

Introduction

This report discusses the Emotional Behavior Disorders, including therapeutic interventions. The children with SEBD and disabilities are a demanding and strenuous endeavor as it is contingent on an array of structural, practical and ideological factors. This paper evaluates the possibilities and challenges of the group of students with SEBD. The emotional disability not only kills the self confidence of the student but also makes him feel alienated and fearful by the society. However, effective remedial measures can play a pivotal role in enhancing the emotional and behavioral condition of the student.

Assessment Instrument Summary

There are numerous means and measures to assess the emotional behavior disorder within students. The schools and private practitioners are continually developing practical theories to combat this disease to help children live a better life. Following are five basic assessment instruments for identification and determination of EBD used in schools or by private practitioners:

BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT SYSTEM FOR CHILDREN-SECOND EDITION (BASC-2)

The BASC-2 is an evaluation system that includes several tools for each age group. In general terms, to manage the TRS, PRS or the SRP is essential to establish rapport with the examinee, this is especially necessary but more challenging in the case of young people for the SRP. The TRS is important that the teacher is one who knows the student and guides you when completing the questionnaire. While for the PRS is preferable that the scale is completed by both parents. BEHAVIOR RATING PROFILE-SECOND EDITION (BRP-2)

The BRP-2 evaluates students' behavior at home and school through various perspectives of parents, teachers, peers, and the students themselves. It contains three scales: Student Rating Scales (home, school, and peer), Parent Rating Scales, and Teacher Rating Scales. In addition, a sociogram to be completed by peers is included (Kauffman et al., 1995). The Student Rating Scales include three types of self-rating scales that solicit true or false responses to a variety of statements about home and school settings as well as about peers. CHILD BEHAVIOR CHECKLIST (CBCL)

This list shows a wide range of adaptive behaviors and problem behaviors of children. There is a version for parents and one for teachers and can be used with both clinical and traditional school practices. The answers are answered on a scale of 3 points (0-2) that reflects the severity and frequency of behaviors. They have established three groups of disorders: externalizing (hyperactivity, aggression, crime and other problems), internalizing (depression, isolation, obsession-compulsion, somatic complaints, social isolation and schizophrenia) and the combined or mixed type in which encompass sexual problems and social isolation (Ninness et al., 1993). The score can be displayed on profile repertoires individual child compares with normative patterns depending on age and sex

CONNER'S RATING SCALES-REVISED (CRS-R).

Conner's' Rating Scales (CRS-R) is designed to measure the cognitive, emotional and behavioral problems of students from the perspective of a teacher and the parents. It includes 4 subscales; oppositional, cognitive problems and inattention, hyperactivity and ADHD index that indicate the risk of developing the ...
