Blog 1: Children with Emotional Disturbance

I did not receive training regarding children with Emotional Disturbance. However, during the first week of professional development, teachers and staff do receive training on mandated reporting, as well as a review of the services available to us through our schools’ emotional behavioral specialist as well as the school psychologist. I guess they would qualify as our “Emergency Team,” though their partnership has never been coined as such. The emotional/behavioral specialist conducts group sessions with students who require structured environments that serve as additional outlet and arena for them to practice grappling with their emotions and behaviors.
