What variables are used to identify a student for the category “behavior disordered” (for example, the behavior of concern interferes with school learning)?
What will be an ideal response?
Students may respond with the five areas listed in the federal definition:
• An inability to learn that cannot be explained.
• A discussion of the factors intensity, duration, rate, and age-appropriateness.
• A discussion of the exclusion of social maladjustment from this category would include mention of common behaviors shared by the category and accepted categories (such as aggression).
• A brief discussion of more psychological categories like schizophrenia. Mention of the removal of autism from this category would be appropriate.
