    About this ebook

    Valuable insight and sound intervention strategies for addressing the needs of students with social and emotional problems!

    When a student is inattentive, extremely anxious, or has an outright tantrum in the classroom, ascertaining the exact cause may be difficult, but it is a critical step in reaching and teaching the students who exhibit these behaviors. In Teaching Students With Emotional Disturbance, Ysseldyke and Algozzine show readers how to recognize the cognitive, academic, physical, communicational, and behavioral characteristics of several forms of emotional disturbance and offer specific strategies for responding to anxiety issues, opposition and noncompliance, tantrums, disruptiveness, inattention, task avoidance, and more.

    Highlights include:

    • A pretest and posttest to help readers assess their understanding about the origins of social and emotional difficulties and how they are best addressed
    • Effective interventions and instructional adaptations for students who have emotional problems
    • Trends and issues currently influencing how students with social and emotional problems are taught
    • Key vocabulary terms

    The authors offer a wealth of information and resources so that teachers can better identify the needs of students with emotional disturbance and help them succeed in the classroom.

      About A Practical Approach to Special Education for Every Teacher

      Special education means specially designed instruction for students with unique learning needs. Students receive special education for many reasons. Students with disabilities such as mental retardation, hearing impairments (including deafness), speech or language impairments, visual impairments (including blindness), emotional disturbance, orthopedic impairments, autism, traumatic brain injury, other health impairments, or specific learning disabilities are entitled to special education services. Students who are gifted and talented also receive special education. Special education services are delivered in many settings, including regular classes, resource rooms, and separate classes. The 13 books of this collection will help you teach students with disabilities and those with gifts and talents. Each book focuses on a specific area of special education and can be used individually or in conjunction with all or some of the other books. Six of the books provide the background and content knowledge you need in order to work effectively with all students with unique learning needs:

      Book 1:     The Fundamentals of Special Education

      Book 2:     The Legal Foundations of Special Education

      Book 3:     Effective Assessment for Students with Special Needs

      Book 4:     Effective Instruction for Students with Special Needs

      Book 5:     Working With Families and Community Agencies to Support Students with Special Needs

      Book 6:     Public Policy, School Reform, and Special Education

      Seven of the books focus on teaching specific groups of students who receive special education:

      Book 7:     Teaching Students with Sensory Disabilities

      Book 8:     Teaching Students with Medical, Physical, and Multiple Disabilities

      Book 9:     Teaching Students with Learning Disabilities

      Book 10:   Teaching Students with Communication Disorders

      Book 11:   Teaching Students with Emotional Disturbance

      Book 12:   Teaching Students with Mental Retardation

      Book 13:   Teaching Students with Gifts and Talents

      All of the books in A Practical Approach to Special Education for Every Teacher will help you to make a difference in the lives of all students, especially those with unique learning needs.

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      The approach we take in A Practical Approach to Special Education for Every Teacher is an effort to change how professionals learn about special education. The 13 separate books are a result of prodding from our students and from professionals in the field to provide a set of materials that cut to the chase in teaching them about students with disabilities and about building the capacity of systems to meet those students’ needs. Teachers told us that in their classes they always confront students with special learning needs and students their school district has assigned a label to (e.g., students with learning disabilities). Our students and the professionals we worked with wanted a very practical set of texts that gave them the necessary information about the students (e.g., federal definitions, student characteristics) and specific information on what to do about the students (assessment and teaching strategies, approaches that work). They also wanted the opportunity to purchase parts of textbooks, rather than entire texts, to learn what they needed.

      The production of this collection would not have been possible without the support and assistance of many colleagues. Professionals associated with Corwin Press—Faye Zucker, Kylee Liegl, Robb Clouse—helped us work through the idea of introducing special education differently, and their support in helping us do it is deeply appreciated.

      Faye Ysseldyke and Kate Algozzine, our children, and our grandchildren also deserve recognition. They have made the problems associated with the project very easy to diminish, deal with, or dismiss. Every day in every way, they enrich our lives and make us better. We are grateful for
