Students with Emotional Behavior

Disorders often have trouble

regulating their behavior, reactions to

others, and organization in the school

setting. There is a computer program

designed to help a student learn how

to regulate these behaviors and

teaches the students valuable

independent tools. This system

(KidTools Support System) was

created for a variety of issues but

works wonders at not just being a tool

for self-regulation, but also a teacher

that will accompany the child for

years to come, giving the student self-

reliance to face issues and stressors

they might never have been able to

deal with on their own before.

There are biological, environmental

and familial factors that might

cause a child to exhibit EBD.

It is crucial for students to have an

adequate support system, whether it

is at home or in our school systems.

Students with EBD often have trouble in school. The drop our rate for Students with EBD is about 52% (Turnbull, 156). Students also fall into the lowest quarter of the percentile for reading, writing, mathematics, and often have issues expressing themselves or their thoughts.

InclusionThe best means of helping these students is to offer them a meaningful curriculum. Something that the child is both interested in and involved in. Teachers must also provide a regimen of rules and boundaries; limitations not meant to
