This document discusses the characteristics of students with mild to moderate intervention needs due to emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). It notes that EBD is defined through professional judgment and requires a multidisciplinary evaluation. Key characteristics include internalizing behaviors like withdrawal and anxiety, and externalizing behaviors like aggression and lack of control. Early identification and proactive intervention are important, as EBD behaviors are often chronic and persistent starting from early childhood through high school transitions. A variety of instructional approaches can help, including ABA, social skills training, wraparound services, and potentially psychopharmacology.
