Including Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders: Case Management Work Protocol.

Students with Emotional and Behavioural Disorders (EBD) pose a challenge for students themselves and those in their close environment, including parents, teachers, and peers. In light of the inclusion movement more students with EBD are assigned to mainstream classrooms. The aim of this article is to present a comprehensive six step work protocol for implementing case management (CM) in inclusive systems as a holistic approach. The EBD-CM work protocol propose both intervention and prevention practice, specifically targets long-term and short-term goals, teacher-student relationships, parents' involvement, and team work as main predictors influencing inclusion outcomes of students with EBD.
