Description

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

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
