Inclusive Instruction for Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders: Pulling Back the Curtain delves into the complexities of educating students with disabilities in general education classrooms, highlighting that these challenges are often attributed to the rapid pace of instruction, the emphasis on advanced concepts and skills that align with college and career-readiness standards, and the lack of well-developed prerequisite skills essential for traditional academic success. This book argues that these challenges are particularly pertinent to the education of students receiving special education services for emotional disturbance (ED), as these students often face pervasive learning and behavioral difficulties that are resistant to conventional instruction and intervention. Contributors to this book suggest that despite increased awareness and implementation of inclusive mindsets, school and post-school outcomes for this student population remain a national concern in the United States. In this comprehensive resource, contributors offer recommendations for enhancing the way schools serve this student population through inclusive practices, along with valuable resources for administrators, teachers, and parents/guardians, emphasizing the provision of a free and appropriate public education for students with ED. Scholars of education, disability studies, and psychology will find this book particularly insightful.
