Full Description
This new text provides educators and paraprofessionals with the necessary skills and resources to target both low- and high-incidence emotional and behavioral problems encountered in general and special education environments across the lifespan of students-from early childhood to transition to adulthood. Drawn from direct experience in classroom and clinical settings, this resource provides all educators with practical, step-by-step information about how to implement specific interventions that work with the most challenging students, including those with ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Pervasive Development Disorder (PDD), anxiety disorders, and early-onset schizophrenia. Aligned with the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) standards for special educators as well as Praxis II content-area standards, features of this text also include a wide variety of pedagogy designed to provide additional connections to chapter content.
