Academic and Behavioral Interventions for Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (EBD): A Systematic Review

Abstract

Teachers who work with students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) play a vital role in public education, but they often experience a wide range of challenges when working with this group of students. To improve the quality of instruction for students with EBD, teachers not only need to equip themselves with a repertoire of up-to-date evidence-based practices, but also know the limitations of these practices. Through a systematic review of empirical studies published in peer-reviewed journals between 2006 and early 2018, this study reviews and discusses practical teaching and research implications on serving and supporting students with EBD in public education.
