2. Outline Slide 1: Introduction Slide 2: Outline Slide 3: Quick Reference - Definition of Emotional Disturbance

3. Tip #1 Quick Reference – Definition of Emotional Disturbance Dr. Churchill gives you an in depth definition of emotional disturbance in her packet. As a teacher in the classroom, at times we need a quick reference sheet. The web site below gives you just that. It provides quick summaries for the definition of emotional disturbance, incidence, characteristics, educational implications, and other considerations. The site also provides related resources and organizations. I suggest printing the four pages and adding them to your “Quick Reference” Binder, as I have. You will “wow” your parents and colleagues. http://www.nichcy.org/pubs/factshe/sf5.pdf Or http://www.nichcy.org/pubs/factshe/sf5txt.htm
