The definition for emotional disorders proposed by Eli Bower contained the exclusion of children whose behavior problems resulted from social maladjustment
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
(a) The five elements of the assessment model (adapted from Wood, 1982) include:
• The disturber: Describe the child, including all relevant personal characteristics
• The problem behavior: Describe the problem behavior fully (antecedents, consequences, duration, intensity, et.)
• The setting: Describe where and when the behavior occurs
• The disturbed: Describe the person who believes the behavior to be a problem, or the persons affected by the behavior
• The functional element: Describe the apparent function of the behavior in meeting the individual's needs (FBA: Functional Behavioral Assessment)
(b) Behaviors only become problematic in a particular contextual environment. Without a complete analysis of the context in which these behaviors occur and the needs they fulfill for the individual, it is unlikely that we can understand the problem well enough to determine if it indeed is a problem, and then to design effective interventions and positive behavioral supports.
