In this study, we investigated the effects of choice of writing prompt on the number of story elements included in written narratives. The investigation took place in a residential facility for students with emotional and behavioral disorders. Participants included six female students in a mixed-grade-level course (students had just completed Grades 7–10). A withdrawal single-case research design was planned for each participant. However, the study was abandoned after only initial baseline and intervention phases because choice of writing prompt appeared to have null or countertherapeutic effects on the number of story elements written. Potential explanations for why these findings are inconsistent with other studies using choice making, including considerations of the file drawer effect for studies with null findings, are presented. Limitations and future directions also are discussed.

The sampling technique of the study was purposive sampling. Subject in this study was a 12-year-old girl with emotional and behavioral disorders. The data was collected with observation, filed note and interview by using art therapy as a media. The collected data are analyzed according to Cresswell’s theory (2007).Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that there are 23 categories which can be classified into three patterns.

Teachers implementing tutoring programs in which their students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) serve as cross-age tutors (CAT-EBD) for younger students in need of additional instruction have reported improvements in academic, social-emotional, and behavioral skills for both tutees and tutors. This practitioner-lead article features firsthand experiences and insights from a special educator implementing such a program. In addition to identifying the perceived strengths, challenges, and overall outcomes of a CAT-EBD program, the experiences within the case study highlight connections and recommendations for effective planning, training, supervising, and supporting of students with EBD as tutors. Practical strategies are provided in support of the challenges identified in implementing and sustaining a CAT-EBD program.

This article examines the research literature on functional assessment-based interventions for students with or at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD) who demonstrate problem behaviors. We sought to identify any trends in the design and application of functional assessment-based interventions, with an emphasis on the types of interventions employed. We also examined the frequency with which researchers are collecting and reporting measures of procedural integrity, generalization and maintenance, and social validity. Although no specific trends emerged in the selection or implementation of interventions, several key issues in the design of research on functional assessment-based interventions with students with or at risk for E/BD are identified and discussed.
