Social and Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents

Allyson AveryMember

Personally and professionally I am conducting research that asks the following questions:

What discrepancies exist between the prevalence of children with EBD and special education identification and service delivery?
What impact do proper and improper identification and service delivery/withholding services have on students, families, the community, and society?
In what ways does EBD affect those with other disabilities, poverty-stricken individuals, minority groups, and rural communities differently?
What actions, policies, and approaches must occur to ensure children and adolescents with EBD are properly identified and provided the services they need and deserve to do well in school and in life?

I am grateful in advance for your thoughts and comments on this subject matter.

Thank you,

Allyson Avery

In Detroit the schools are supposed to be doing a lot of the diagnosing. They are also supposed to be doing it for the preschools. The preschools had to go out and hire their own firm to work with their children. There is a person to work in the school for about 4 hours a week. A high poverty school with about 200 children. I hope that's changing, but many kids can't get a special ed diagnosis, much less something more. This is not my specialty, but if you could find other folks in the area - it might be enlightening. That doesn't even reflect the dozens of charter schools, each with their own set up.
