Emotional and Behavioural disorders

Emotional and behavioural disorders (EBD; sometimes known as behavioural and emotional disorders) are a type of impairment that allows educational institutions to provide special education and related services to pupils who have shown inadequate social and/or academic progress.

A person with EBD who engages in "internalising" behaviour may have low self-esteem, be depressed, lose interest in social, academic, and other pursuits, and engage in non-suicidal self-injury or substance misuse. Separation anxiety or another anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), particular or social phobia, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, and/or an eating disorder are all possible diagnoses for students who engage in internalising behaviour.

For children who are very disruptive, teachers are more inclined to write referrals. Screening measures for detecting pupils that engage in a lot of "internalising" behaviour aren't very sensitive, so they're rarely utilised in practise. Students with EBD who engage in "externalising" conduct are more likely to be aggressive, noncompliant, extroverted, or disruptive.

Students with EBD who exhibit externalising behaviour are frequently diagnosed with ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder, and/or bipolar disorder; however, this population can also include typically developing children who have learned to exhibit externalising behaviour for a variety of reasons (e.g., escape from academic demands or access to attention). These kids frequently struggle to control their emotional responses to anger, frustration, and disappointment. Students who "externalise" engage in insulting, provocative, threatening, and bullying activities.
