Language development is the foundation for competence in social, emotional, behavioral, and academic performance. Although language impairment (LI) is known to co-occur with behavioral and mental health problems, LI is likely to be overlooked in school-age children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD; Hollo, Wehby, & Oliver, in press). Because language deficits may contribute to the problem behavior and poor social development characteristic of children with EBD, the consequences of an undiagnosed language disorder can be devastating. Implications include the need to train school professionals to recognize communication deficits. Further, it is critically important that specialists collaborate to provide linguistic and behavioral support for students with EBD and LI.

If our judgments about educational change were based only on conventional histories,our vision of alternative futures would be constrained. We would probably come to the conclusion that a small number of school professionals and prominent social reformers have alone been responsible for initiating and maintaining worthwhile reforms.

Academic Year

In this study, school professionals provided a rich context for understanding how collaboration can lead to learning when educating a child with deafblindness. Analysis of the collaboration of five professionals during an academic year showed that although they thought it was critical that they learn from each other, only one sub-set engaged in ways that led to rich learning opportunities. The findings from this study suggest that professional collaboration and learning, which is a hallmark of supporting learners with dual sensory loss, may be elusive even when it is a valued and mandated practice. In addition, professional learning more readily occurs when teachers are open to educating all children yet are also focused on how to best teach children with deafblindness.
