What is a common characteristic of students with emotional/behavioral disabilities?

Students with emotional and behavioral disabilities often exhibit consistent emotional and behavioral responses that significantly impact their educational experiences. This may manifest as difficulties in regulating emotions, forming relationships with peers and teachers, or managing behavior in various settings, leading to challenges that affect their ability to learn and perform academically.

Such consistent struggles can create barriers to effective learning, potentially leading to disruptions in the classroom, difficulties in social interactions, or challenges in completing academic tasks. Recognizing this characteristic is crucial for educators and professionals working within the Department of Juvenile Justice, as it informs the development of appropriate interventions and support strategies tailored to meet the unique needs of these students.
