I guess in my experience, I just feel like most the kids I work with are suffering from both emotional and behavioral symptoms. Maybe one is stemming from the other, but they overlap so much it can be hard to tell. I think I'd have a hard time separating those out.
I always want to believe these changes happen with the best of intentions and backed by actual helpful findings, but boy does it just feel like we're constantly changing things around every few years just to create the appearance of progress. If getting licensed will help my students, I'm all for it, but how do I know they won't be emphasizing a different one four years from now and downplaying the work I put in on top of full-time teaching with low pay? Sorry for the rant.
I believe special education should not make the disability field too refined. There are so many “combined disabilities” that we need to service all the components of what a student needs despite their labels. Labels create more paper work and red tape. We have enough of that already.
I agree but in mn anxiety is not a criteria for qualification

Minnesota HS- ADHD isn’t a certification area there? We have OHI- other health impairment which covers ADHD. OHI however doesn’t cover anxiety. Anxiety is covered by the Emotional Impairment cert.
Mentor
We have EI -Emotional Impairment. If a student’s behavior, lack of progress is not due to affect/emotions we can’t certify. So, for example if a student’s profile is clinical for aggression, conduct problems and externalization problems w/out elevations in anxiety, depression, thought problems, somatic complaints, obsessive compulsive problems, cognitive tempo, etc the student would be deemed ineligible. The student has to have elevations in those sub scales that are in the affective domain. Does that make sense?
Our district does not recognize anxiety as a OHI certification either (need for medical documentation). I know many do it this way but anxiety in and of itself is under EI in my district.

Does the teacher need to be licensed in different certification areas? and now they’re adding to that?
No I would like to personally see it split. We currently have sld,ebd,ohd,asd and dcd
How are they doing that where youre at?
I would like to see it spilt personally and add anxiety as a qualifying criteria
They don’t have a bd room at my school. If they have autism they end up on my caseload
Fellow MN teacher here… ADHD is often covered by OHD (other health disability) anyway. And I agree with Pennsylvania MS… I don’t think I’ve ever met a child with behavioral problems that doesn’t have mental health problems. I think the differentiation you want to make is internalized mental health problems and externalized mental health problems. They all need mental health support, but their programming will probably look pretty different. Also, as a setting III teacher for kids with significant emotional/behavioral needs, I’ve learned that disability category means so little. Most of my students don’t qualify EBD because parents don’t endorse concerns at home during the evaluations. Problems reported across settings is a staple criteria for EBD. A lot of my kids qualify under OHD, LD, or ASD.

Wrong! I never said that I believe behavior problems are due purely to conduct disorders.
Never said that! Please don’t put words in my mouth.
Not ALL behaviors are mental health related, they just are not! I’ve worked in psych hospitals for the better of 15 yrs. I’ve worked in private practice for maybe 9-10 yrs. Ppl are turned away from in-pt psych hospitalization due to pathology. It’s nothing new in my world.
I do evals ALL the time. Typically, yes! behaviors (behavior dysregulation) are affect driven but definitely not always. It’s rare but we have not certified kids b4 bc of their social emotional profile and what we know of the student.
Do you specialize in mental health? Just curious.
Perhaps all reflect advances in medicine, medical research, and related diagnoses. SpEd is based in a medical model. Let s not forget BigPharma’s influence.
Students can qualify for services under an EBD for all the things you listed. (Although ADHD alone would be OHI. ADHD with conduct disorder would be EBD) unfortunately, internalilizers are chronically ignored and underidentified. I work in a day treatment program in a public school that serves both internalizes and externalizes. I would love to have another teacher so that we could give even more specialized services, but I think this is a problem of practice not of label. BOTH require mental health services equally.
