Extractions: Bill Brennan is editorial page editor of The Independent. We all become experts at parenting, but none of us ever find enough answers. And more often that we care to admit, we gain our experiences the hard way. Couples start own parenting groups Once a month on Sunday mornings, 18 couples meet in a room at St. Leo's Church. They come as parents not as experts. They discuss mutual problems. They ask each other for advice. "It is a sharing of experiences," said Gina Baker, who organized the St. Leo's Parent Support Group. "We learn from each other. Nobody has all the answers." She is encourages other parents to do the same thing. "You don't even have to be a church group. Co-workers could start a group. You don't need professionals. When it comes to parenting, anybody can be a teacher." The idea is that many minds are better than one.

Extractions: B eing able to interact successfully with others is a key to many of the experiences that enrich life, such as having friendships, participating in recreational activities, or joining groups or clubs. For children and youth with emotional, behavioral, or mental health disorders, difficulties with social interactions are common; in fact, having difficulties in this area is often a key feature in the diagnosis of these disabilities. For young people who experience difficulty in building and maintaining positive interpersonal relationships with peers and adults, social skills training is often recommended as an intervention. This does not mean, however, that social skills training is always effective ; on the contrary, the effects of social skills training on students with emotional and behavioral disorders tends to be quite weak. However, results from recent research provide some insight into the characteristics of effective social skills training programs. Applying this knowledge to the design and implementation of social skills training programs can increase the probability that the training will indeed result in students' gaining access to enriching interactions and activities.
College Of Education factors involved in a diagnosis of behavior and emotional disorders are also participatein a class for students with emotional and behavioral disabilities http://www.grand-canyon.edu/coe/online/spec_ed/se_courses.htm
Extractions: Daniel Farrell, Ph.D All teachers are challenged to meet the special educational needs of all students. Who is going to meet the special needs of all teachers? We in the College of Education are expanding our special education program for undergraduates and graduates in both the traditional and online formats. Our traditional program of studies includes a double major in special education with K-12 certification in learning disabilities, mental retardation, and emotional disabilities and in elementary education with K-8 elementary certification. In addition, students with majors in elementary and secondary education can now choose to minor in special education. Graduate students may choose to take courses as part of their special education masters program or for certification only. Online courses currently available for graduate students include Special Education: Foundation and Framework, Educating Learners with Diverse Needs, Characteristics of Students with Mental Retardation, Emotional Disabilities, and Learning Disabilities. Strategy courses in the three disability areas and Diagnosis and Assessment in Special Education are under development to be ready for summer and fall semesters. Based on the objectives of the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards and those of the Council for Exceptional Children, the courses are designed to meet certification requirements across the states. Teachers may also take online courses for professional development.

Les6note for the learner with emotional/behavioral disorders will include for children withemotional disturbance focus and prevention of future behavioral difficulty. http://clem.mscd.edu/~speced/SED360/les6note.html
Extractions: LESSON VI: NOTES: Many professionals believe that the most valid means of identifying emotional disturbance is through classroom observation. Teachers should be astute in terms of documenting behavior which consistently does not meet school expectations. Antecdotal recording and formal screening tools which require the teacher to rate behavioral patterns can both be helpful for documenting emotional/behavior disorders. Research has indicated that children and adolescents with disturbed behavior tend to score lower on intelligence and achievement tests. It is uncertain whether these results are valid because the behavior in question often prohibits the individual from concentrating on the testing activity. In terms of social/emotional functioning, it can be said that learners who have externalizing behaviors often engage in aggression, verbal and/or physical, while those who have internalizing behaviors are more likely to retreat within themselves.

Extractions: The History of the Problem: Development of the Field Teachers in every era have faced the problem of disorderly and disturbing student behavior. Throughout history one can find examples of youngstersf behavior that angered and disappointed their parents or other adults and violated established codes of conduct. The historical roots of special education for students with emotional or behavioral disorders are not easy to identify. ( Kauffman, 1993, p. 65) Late 1700s: Dispelling Ignorance, Neglect, and Abuse Before 1800, handicapped children and youth of any description were at best protected from abuse, and we know of few systematic attempts to teach them. Emotionally or behavioral disorders were believed to be evidence of Satanfs power, and children and adolescents were often punished under the law as adults. Abuse, neglect, cruel medical treatment (for example bleeding) and excessive punishment were common and often accepted matter-of-factly for children as well as adults who showed undesirable behavior. Not until the period following the American and French Revolutions in the closing years of the eighteenth century did kind and effective treatment begin to appear.
