In this article, we describe a process, wraparound planning, for extending educational services to students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) and their families which allows the children to remain in their home communities and schools. A merger of community and school-based wraparound has been established in the La Grange Area Department of Special Education (LADSE) and currently is being implemented in pilot school districts throughout the state of Illinois. Guidelines for implementing school-based wraparound for students with EBD are provided, and implications for the organization of schools to facilitate the wraparound approach are discussed.

Students who are actively engaged in learning have a higher probability of academic and behavioral success in the classroom. One effective teaching practice that increases student engagement is providing students with frequent opportunities to respond (OTR). This article provides practitioners with a range of OTR strategies that include verbal, non-verbal, and partner responses. In addition, recommendations are provided on how these strategies can be effectively implemented in inclusive classrooms to increase engagement of students with school-based behavior problems, including those with and at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders.

Students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) experience some of the poorest outcomes of all students. They are also placed in alternative education (AE) settings more frequently than students in other disability categories. For some of these students, the ultimate goal is to return to the traditional school. A systematic, five-part process provides a framework that begins with planning for transition upon entry to an AE program and proceeds through monitoring student progress after returning to the traditional school. The process allows educators, students, and parents to work as a collaborative team to support youth transitioning from an AE setting to a traditional school.

Objective data provide overwhelming evidence that children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are underidentified and underserved. This was the central argument in our November 2007 Forum article to which Harry, Hart, Klingner, Cramer, and Sturges responded. In this rejoinder, we continue to assert the dramatic need to offer appropriate educational services to all children with EBD independent of their personal identity and characteristics. Although we identify areas of agreement with Harry et al., we challenge many of their assertions related to our article and continue to affirm that underservice of learners with EBD is the greatest challenge.

Children from diverse backgrounds are more likely to receive special education services for emotional or behavioral disorders. These data validate the research that advocates for practitioners to use evidence-based and culturally sustaining practices. This article discusses how strategically implemented, evidence-based, and culturally sustaining practices can assist in preventing inaccurate referrals for special education services.

Public schools located within urban environments are a critical component of a larger social network in their communities, with important reciprocal interactions occurring across settings. This is especially important for students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD), as integration and alignment of home, community, and school intervention programming is essential for their outcomes. However, teachers often have a deficit-perspective of urban communities and lack the skills to identify assets that may support generalization of interventions for students with EBD in a variety of settings. Asset mapping is one way to help special education teachers reframe this perspective. Definitions of assets and the asset mapping process, as well as practical recommendations for special education teachers to identify assets within their school community environment, are provided.
