NASET’s Classroom Management Series
Exploring Educational and Behavioral Outcomes for Children with Emotional Behavioral Disorders (EBD)
By Alexis Ahumada
This issue of NASET’s Classroom Management Series was written by Alexis Ahumada. Research has shown that students with emotional-behavioral disorder (EBD) are at risk for having more long-term negative outcomes than their peers. The purpose of this review was to examine how to mitigate the negative outcomes of students with EBD. The criteria for the papers included in this review were: (a) studies published within the past ten years; (b) studies investigating the short- and long-term outcomes of students with EBD; and (c) studies exploring interventions to aid students with EBD to improve academic and behavioral outcomes. The results of this review showed that there were protective strategies which could mitigate against short- and long-term negative outcomes: (a) improving executive functioning skills; (b) creating positive classroom environments; (c) teaching social-emotional learning skills; (d) goal setting; and (e) self- regulation techniques. The implications of this review are that implementing protective strategies can be effective at improving the outcomes of students with EBD.

TRIVIA QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to
Carmela Raisch, Cindi Maurice, Joanne P. Judge, Patsy Ray, Karen Frantz-Fry, Lauro Esquilona III, Bonnie Iannaccone, Debbie Alford, Katrina Snider, and Nicole Greene who all knew the answer to last week's trivia question:
At the back of the eye, the retina and the optic nerve connect at the optic disc. An extension of the central nervous system, the structure is a window into the brain and researchers have started capitalizing on their ability to easily and non-invasively access this body part to obtain important brain-related information. Researchers from Yonsei University College of Medicine in South Korea have developed a method of diagnosing this disorder and symptom severity in children using retinal images screened by an AI algorithm. The researchers took photographs of children’s retinas and screened them using a deep learning AI algorithm to diagnose this disorder with 100% accuracy. The findings support using AI as an objective screening tool for early diagnosis of this disorder. What is the disorder?
Answer: AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
This week's trivia question:
Recently, this city in the United States has been named the first sensory-inclusive city in the country. The city is the first to receive a Sensory Inclusive Certification from KultureCity, a nonprofit focused on sensory accessibility nationwide. The Alabama-based organization provides the certification, along with training and resources, upon receiving applications. Also, this city has the highest rate of disability among the top large U.S. cities at nearly 17%, and this includes those with sensory-based disabilities. In addition to the city, all of this city’s professional sports teams are certified as sensory-inclusive teams and venues. What is the U.S. city that has been named the first sensory-inclusive city in the country?
