Abstract
Carolyn Chang and Yelena Novakovskiy Terzi worked collaboratively on this project from planning to submission. Given the poor outcomes for students with Emotional Disturbance (ED), schools must continue to improve upon their programs and instructional methods in order to better prepare these students for life after high school. This project provides educators with a training module regarding best practice strategies for students with ED. Although there are many research based interventions that increase the successes of students with ED, no program brings the interventions together into a cohesive plan. The professional training module included in this project aims to: (a) provide information about the home and school experiences of students with ED, (b) inform school teams of validated techniques and interventions for this population, and (c) provide a framework for integrating strategies within existing service delivery models.
