Factors to Consider
Three criteria to help in deciding whether a child's behavior is normal or a sign that the youngster needs help:
• The duration of a troublesome behavior• The intensity of a behavior• The age of the child
![Page 11: At the end of this presentation you should be able to: Describe the characteristics of emotional or behavioral disorders. Understand the differences between](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e265503460f94b164d4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Approximately 1 percent of the school-age population was served for emotional or behavioral disorder in 1999-2000.
• Some experts believe this is an under-identification of the actual number of students who need services.
• African American males are over-represented in this category.– Unavailability of culturally-appropriate assessment instruments– Concern about teacher expectations regarding appropriate behavior– Building respectful family-professional partnerships that may prevent
identification• Ethnically diverse groups may be more likely to experience environmental
stressors that can lead to mental health problems.
