Every school has kids with emotional and behavioral disorders. They can be bright, engaging and fun but are also difficult, disruptive and taxing for teachers and classmates alike. The ABCs of Emotional Behavioral Disorder outlines a best practice approach to successfully integrate elementary and middle school EBD students into the educational mainstream. The video features Bob Clasen, professor emeritus and Molly Kilkenny, special education teacher, as well as student portraits and family interviews.

Segments include: Myths and misconceptions, searching for hidden strengths, Amanda’s story, instructional strategies, and role plays to de-escalate and resolve conflict. The profile of eleven year-old Amanda puts theory into practice. She is charming but lonely, hard-working but struggling with grades and aware of her challenges yet optimistic about the future.

DVD, 35 minutes, closed captioned, SDH subtitled, 2004. Includes a PDF video workbook.
