Preferred term

behavioral exceptionalities  

Definition

  • Children with emotional and behavioral disabilities (EBDs) first began to be served in public schools as a result of the far-reaching 1975 special education law PL 94–142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, reauthorized as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA). This special education law and its subsequent reauthorizations were influenced greatly by the civil rights movement.
