This article explores the link between emotional behavioral disorders (EBD) and reading performance, and describes four intervention practices that positively impact reading performance for students with EBD. Research shows that some conduct disorders, such as EBD, can be linked to poor reading performance, although the causal relationship has not been determined. More research is needed to determine effective positive interventions for students with EBD, but interviews with several... - 1/1/07 - McPeak, L. , Trygg, L.

This is significant because the life experiences of these children can distract their attention from learning, and in more serious cases, lead to cognitive or physical impairment. In the classroom, these students may struggle with basic literacy skills, disengage from... - 1/1/07 - Apthorp, H., Clark, T.
