Special Education Programs Division Emotional Disturbance Program • Overview • Placement & Eligibility • Programs and Services • Related Resources • Contact Information Overview The program for students with Emotional Disturbance (ED) serves students with disabilities who are five to 22 years of age. The ED program utilizes a curriculum based on state standards as well as supplemental curriculum, established by the Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) and leading to a certificate of completion or diploma. Placement & Eligibility Placement in the ED program is made after an IEP team determines eligibility. The ED program provides a continuum of services in the student's least restrictive environment. These options include placement in general education classrooms with the support of a resource teacher; Special Day class for small group instruction; and alternative programs as needed. A child who exhibits one or more of the following conditions over an extended period of time qualifies for services:     . an inability to learn, that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory or health factors;     . an inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers;     . inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances;     . a general, constant mood of unhappiness or depression; and     . a tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems. A child is eligible for services if these conditions have an adverse affect on educational performance, even after supportive assistance has been provided. >>Learn more about eligibility criteria for students with special needs.
