Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (EB/D) is an area of special education for children who have been identified through extensive assessment. These students receive small group instruction and support from the school psychologist.
Additionally, there are two district-wide classrooms at Deerwood Elementary for students who are in severe need of small group opportunities due to an Emotional/Behavioral Disorder. Students in these two classrooms may come to this program from Deerwood or about eight other elementaries in our district.
These classrooms are designed to provide individual opportunities for growth and development while maximizing students' self-concepts. This program specializes in 1) the structure to assist in development of appropriate school behaviors and 2) the social skill and problem-solving practice to foster successful interpersonal relationships.
Students in the E/BD program at Deerwood spend part of the day in mainstream classes and the remainder of the day with the E/BD specialists. Continuous efforts are made to prepare students for increased integration into mainstream classes, first at Deerwood, and then back at the student's neighborhood school.
