Come learn the about the present state of emotional disturbance as a category in special education through its early beginnings in P.L.94-142 and Eli Bower’s groundbreaking research to the current reauthorization of IDEA 2004. Discuss the current definition of emotional disturbance under IDEA, and the diagnostic and ethical dilemmas created for those who must use the federal definition to authorize services or design empirically supported interventions. This is a unique opportunity to hear about new RTI based interventions models as well as the early work of Eli Bower from a true expert on the subject.
