This workshop provides information and tools, essential for all school personnel, to create a supportive environment to successfully teach children and adolescents with neurological and emotionally based disorders. "Emotional and Behavioral Disorder" is an umbrella term under which several distinct diagnoses fall (such as Anxiety Disorder, Manic-Depressive Disorder, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, and more). These disorders are also termed "emotional disturbance" and "emotionally challenged." The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) guarantees students access to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) possible. As such, students diagnosed with emotional disorders (ED) are often included in general education classrooms. Most recently, Jane attended a conference on “Mental Health in Middle and High School” sponsored by Harvard Medical School and will share some of this most recent research. After this workshop participants will be able to:

  • Explain the various aspects of Emotional and Behavior Disorder and what to expect when supporting a student with this diagnosis. 
  • Be knowledgeable about research on the prevalence of anxiety and understand strategies to alleviate some of the stress experienced by children and adolescents.
  • Demonstrate classroom strategies that support a student with emotional and/or behavioral challenges in the classroom.
