And Behavior

Two major factors seem to have contributed to the current transformation of special education. One has to do with evidence for or against the special class model of service delivery; the second, which is Jess widely acknowledged, concerns the increasingly complex ways of viewing children with learning and behavior problems. Brief review of the second factor suggests that ecological concepts in mental retardation, learning disabilities, and emotional disorders have begun to characterize current thinking. Implications for research efforts and professional roles are discussed.

The Way

Forty-four dropout youth with learning disabilities, behavior disorders, or mild mental retardation participated in an interview that included questions about school dropout. We categorized responses and identified key themes. Dominant themes were the need for teachers and administrators to change their attitude toward and treatment of these youth and the need for the youth themselves to change their attitude and behavior. Other themes included the need for more support from teachers, for changes in attendance and discipline policies, for better textbooks, and for a change in the way certain courses are taught.
