The traditional categories of Emotional Disorders and Behaviour Disorders (ED/BD) are examined. Included are the ED/BD concerns of students with DSM 5 diagnoses such as AD/HD, anxiety, and depression, as well as the ED/BD concerns of students with autism, intellectual disabilities and those identified with behavioural concerns. The course includes a critical review of literature, building on students’ extant knowledge and professional experience and an examination of current best practice in the areas addressed. Classroom intervention strategies are studied and critically evaluated.
