CCBD: Should it be a Last Line of Defense or Adapt to New Times?
The past decade has seen what amounts to a rapid flight from the label “Emotional/Behavioral Disorder” within the special education community. Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are now served either as students with ASD or as students with Pervasive Developmental Disabilities. Focusing on their attention deficits, students with ADHD are now often classified as students with Learning Disabilities. There are also attempts to avoid labeling disruptive students as EBD by treating them as Tier 2 or Tier 3 students under the PBIS model. Clearly, identified numbers of EBD students are declining and the definition of EBD is narrowing. CCBD is currently in the second phase of a 2 year study of itself in which the fundamental question is whether to remain a narrowly focused, disability-specific organization, or to shift focus to promoting behavioral strategies which might impact students with any disability. This presentation will further describe the question, the research effort as a whole, and the results to date.
Dr. Alec Peck is an Associate Professor of Special Education at Boston College where he teaches graduate courses in behavioral disorders and directs research and training grants. He has published and presented extensively on a variety of topics. He is the co-editor of Teaching Exceptional Children. and founded the on-line extension known as Teaching Exceptional Children Plus. He has been active in CCBD for over 20 years.

You don't know jack!:
How do we prepare teachers to address the unique needs
of students with EBD?
A greater number of children and youth with EBD are being educated by general education teachers within the regular education classroom. Others are placed in settings taught by teachers with non- or cross-categorical certification. As a result, a large number of students with EBD are being taught by individuals who may not be prepared to properly address their challenging behavior in a manner that promotes the development of self-regulation and self-management. Knowledge of how to establish and operate a classroom that provides a therapeutic milieu for an academically and emotionally diverse group of students with EBD is quickly becoming a lost art. This presentation will explore information gained from educators and school administrators related to the knowledge and skills needed by teachers attempting to serve students with EBD. Implications for teacher education and future research will be highlighted.
Dr. Richard Van Acker is a Professor of Special Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Prior to obtaining his doctorate, Rick taught students with EBD at the high school level and also worked in residential care for students with emotional disturbance. His research explores the development of antisocial behavior in children and youth, school violence, teacher and student interaction and the use of cognitive behavioral intervention in the school and classroom. Rick is a former president of CCBD and currently serves on the CCBD Professional Development Committee.
Conference Events
The Annual Teacher Educators for Children with Behavior Disorders Conference is the premier educational research conference for teacher educators working with children and youth with severe behavioral disorders.
It was established in Arizona in 1976 by Dr. Robert B. Rutherford with the mission to disseminate quality research in the field and to help students, educators, and university faculty alike. TECBD began it's mission long before support for students with severe behaviors was the norm. It continues to be a leader for showcasing the very best that our field has to offer.
