  7. Emotional and Behavior DisorderParent’s Perspective

  8. Meeting • I clearly remember the day that Mrs. Miller, my child’s school psychologist notified me of some concerns that she had with my son’s behavior. She suggested that we further discuss this matter in a meeting. • I have a great relationship with the staff at the school, and I know that Mrs. Miller wants the best for my child. I agreed to meet with her. • At the meeting I was informed that my child show signs of emotional and behavior disorder. • Mrs. Miller wanted my consent to assess him. • I gave my consent and support to do whatever it takes to help my child.

  9. The Village Coming Together to Strategies • After the assessment my son was identified as having emotional behavior disorder. • My further involvement for planning, and implementing any needed behavior strategies was permitted. • As a team we got together on several occasion to determine what actions or further steps where needed to be taken to help my child be successful. • We found several avenues and interventions that helped and as a parent I felt that my child would be fine.

  10. Understanding and Educating Myself • I accepted my child’s disorder because I want the best for him and not hinder his growth. • As a willing parent I wanted to immediately educate myself so that I can better understand my child’s needs. • Learning the condition of his disorder was very important to me. • I became familiar with the language and dialect of the conversations in the meeting that was used. • I had several questions and concerns that I would address.

Questions and Concerns that I had • What causes emotional and behavior disorder? • What will it take for my child to succeed in the general education setting? • Is this a phase that he is going through temporary or is this permanent? • What kinds of benefits, programs, resources, and other information are there available to me as a parent and to my child? • Can my child stay in his regular class or will he have to transfer to a special school? • How will being identified as EBD affect his future career planning?
