This monograph discusses using collaboration and consultation to teach children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) in the general education classroom. After an introductory chapter, Chapter 2, "Collaboration and Consultation: Promises and Limitations," compares collaboration and consultation as they relate to serving students with EBD. The characteristics of the population with EBD and teacher perspectives on the inclusion of students with EBD in general education classes are discussed, including their concerns about the efficacy of collaboration. Chapter 3, "The Role of Functional Assessment in Collaboration and Consultation," explores the emergent practice of functional assessment as an essential tool for effective consultation. The process of functional assessment and functional replacement training are described. Chapter 4, "Guidelines for Consultation," explores practical ways to apply functional assessment procedures in the collaborative consultation processes and describes four interrelated components (ecological factors, longitudinal programming, focused interventions, and reactive strategies) and associated interventions of effective behavioral plans. Chapter 5, "Systems-Level Collaborative Consultation," provides an overview of the procedures and processes that characterize positive behavior support for all students. The role of the special educator in achieving a collaborative and comprehensive systems-level approach to educating students with EBD is highlighted. (CR)

This monograph discusses using an approach based on perceptual control theory (PCT) to teach self-control to children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders. PCT is described as a general approach to understanding self-regulated systems that relies on the theory that behavior controls an individual's perceptions rather than the perceptions controlling behavior generally assumed by most people. After an introductory chapter, Chapter 2, "Overview of Perceptual Control Theory," describes the basic tenets of PCT and includes real-life examples, describes the levels of PCT, and compares PCT to some traditional conceptualizations of behavior to provide a frame of reference for the intervention techniques. Chapter 3, "Questioning Method for Getting Children and Youth to Think," describes the rationale for questioning children and youth and provides five recommended questions for teaching self-control. Chapter 4, "Teaching Children and Youth to Make a Plan," discusses the five components in this process, including identifying an area for improvement, setting a measurable goal, creating a detailed outline, self-monitoring performances, and setting up a feedback chart depicting process. A sample planning sheet and feedback chart are provided. A concluding chapter describes ways for dealing with children and youth who continually break rules. (Contains 34 references.) (CR)
