Communicating Effectively with At-Risk Students
3 HOURS(1803)- The purpose of this course is to provide foundational information to practitioners who work with older children and adolescents who have emotional and/or behavioral disorders. The high co-occurrence of language difficulties and emotional/behavioral disorders has been addressed in recent literature, but remains an area that is often under-emphasized in treatment and education of such individuals. These students are at-risk for academic failure and possible problems with emotional and social development. In this course, the co-occurrence of language disorders and emotional and/or behavioral disorders will be examined. In order to understand possible relationships of these disorders, a framework for discussion of language will be introduced. Language development will be briefly reviewed with emphasis placed on developments that occur during school-age and adolescent years. Then, information that describes some of the language deficits of children with EBD will be described. Those communication disorders of children and adolescents that may co-occur with emotional or behavior disorders will also be described. Implications for counselors, psychologists, teachers, speech-language pathologists, and other professionals who work with this population will be provided. Developments in federal regulations for education will also be discussed in conjunction with intervention considerations for this population of students. 2008.
