This volume focuses on emerging research and issues related to emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). Chapters include reports of original research and summaries of new and emerging research issues. Specific topics include bullying, technology-based self-monitoring, and issues around identifying evidence-based practice in EBD.

The Handbook of Research on Emotional and Behavioral Disorders explores the factors necessary for successful implementation of interventions that foster productive relationships and ecologies to establish, reinforce, and sustain adaptive patterns of emotional and behavioral functioning across childhood and into adulthood. Although there has been a concerted focus on developing evidence-based programs and practices to support the needs of children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders, there has been less emphasis on the developmental, social, and environmental factors that impact the implementation and effectiveness of these approaches. Chapters from leading experts tackle this complexity by drawing on a range of disciplines and perspectives including special education; mental health services; school, clinical, and community psychology; social work; developmental psychology and psychopathology; and prevention science. An essential resource for scholars and students interested in emotional and behavioral disorders, this volume crafts an essential framework to promote developmentally meaningful strategies for children and youth with even the most adverse experiences and intensive support needs.

Brinig together leading reserachers, this book integrates current knowledge on emotional and behavioral disorders in the school setting. Reviewed are a range of evidence-based approaches to identifying, assessing, and intervening with this difficult-to-teach population. School practitioners and educators gain essential tools for developing and evaluating programs to improve student behvior, boost self-control and social skills, and maximize academic achievement. Findings on early intervention and prevention are presented, and inplications for policy discussed. Broad in coverage, the volume also empasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in service provision and delineates best-practice guidelines for research.

Healthy mental, emotional, and behavioral (MEB) development is a critical foundation for a productive adulthood. Much is known about strategies to support families and communities in strengthening the MEB development of children and youth, by promoting healthy development and also by preventing and mitigating disorder, so that young people reach adulthood ready to thrive and contribute to society. Over the last decade, a growing body of research has significantly strengthened understanding of healthy MEB development and the factors that influence it, as well as how it can be fostered. Yet, the United States has not taken full advantage of this growing knowledge base. Ten years later, the nation still is not effectively mitigating risks for poor MEB health outcomes; these risks remain prevalent, and available data show no significant reductions in their prevalence. Fostering Healthy Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Development in Children and Youth: A National Agenda examines the gap between current research and achievable national goals for the next ten years. This report identifies the complexities of childhood influences and highlights the need for a tailored approach when implementing new policies and practices. This report provides a framework for a cohesive, multidisciplinary national approach to improving MEB health.

This volume focuses on evidence-based practices (EBPs) , supported, sound research studies documenting their effectiveness with a target population. As such, EBPs have significant potential to improve the outcomes of learners with learning and behavioral disorders.

This is a two-part set divided between the areas of theoretical perspectives and intervention research. The first section, Theoretical Perspectives, covers topics such as mathematical difficulties in young children, the s-cognitive processing test and defining emotional or behavioral disorders. It concludes with a quantitative synthesis of survey research. The second section, Intervention Research, deals with various aspects of intervention including a review of the literature concerning attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, treatment of serios antisocial behaviour and the role of self-awareness and self-perception in strategic learning for pupils with learning disabilities.

Using Technology to Enhance Special Education, Volume 37 of Advances in Special Education, focuses on how general and special educators can use technology to work with children and youth with disabilities.

Intended to be of interest to clinicians, teachers, researchers, graduate students, and others who work with students with learning and behavioral disabilities, this book focuses on identify and review issues and outcomes associated with behavioral concerns of students with learning and behavioral disabilities.

Given the apparent rise in many forms of violence in schools, and the dire consequences to those impacted by violence, it is vital to better support children and youth. This volume provides an overview of key areas of promise for improved research and practice to mitigate violence and respond in positive, supportive ways.
