Please give me a list of the top internet sites that discuss
strategies for educating behaviorally disabled youth such as:
teacher/reference related sites,
general consumer sites e.g. family circle, sites that have
magazines/journals and e-zines.

Hello, bd2-ga,

 After researching your question for a number of hours, I have finally
reached a point where the same websites are toppling over one another
within searches and directory links. Most of the information dealing
with teaching strategies is included within organizational websites
that are geared toward parents, teachers and other professionals.
There are numerous information sites about learning disabilities for
the general consumer but they don't hit on educational methods. It is
very hard to find parenting sites that focus on teaching strategies
for the learning disabled other than those that simply include tips
for preschoolers.

 The references I have listed all include learning strategies or links
within the website. I have also found a few websites that include
newsletters, journals or magazines that outline educational
strategies.

Request for Answer Clarification by bd2-ga on 23 Dec 2003 09:20 PST

You have done a fine job on finding sites related to educating the
learning disabled teen. It obviously was a lot of work and some of it
may be helpful. However, I am specifically looking for sites related
to or discussing the BEHAVIORALLY disabled teen (sometimes called the
emotionally disturbed teen). At times, a teen may be both and it can
be confusing if a person is not acquainted with state/federal
regulations.

Let me explain my purpose. I am an author of professional books for
educating the behaviorally disabled. I am interested in writing
(columns, articles, and/or Q & A, or even offering live chat) for
sites, journals, magazines etc. that reach out to parents,
paraprofessionals and professionals who are trying to deal with these
troubled teens.

Perhaps I was not specific enough in my initial request and since you
have invested this much time, upon delivery of the above specifically
targeted info, a tip would be in order.

Thank you for the clarification, bd2. I will redirect my efforts and

afternoon, but I will do my best to get back to your question this
evening.

Hello again, bd2!

 The following references should provide a better fit for the type of
information you are seeking concerning behavior disorders in
adolescents. Thanks for your patience during these busy holidays!
And....best of luck in your endeavors.

"What are the most important brain studies underway regarding Learning
Disabled, Behaviorally Disabled, and Attentional Deficit Disordered
students? Can we utilize that information to scaffold their learning
through their existing strengths? What are the long-range effects of
medications such as Ritalin and Prozac? Are there appropriate
alternatives? What about the use of biofeedback? What is the current
research on the effects of chemical food additives and pollutants in
connection with learning problems? As the new IDEA guidelines take
effect, what help can neuroscientists offer teachers in terms of
realistic expectations for their students and the means to help them
meet these expectations?"

"Teenager?s with conduct disorder have a repetitive and persistent

children and adolescents. Severe difficulties at home, in school, and
in the community are common, and frequently there is very early sexual
activity. Self-esteem is usually low, although the adolescent may
project an image of "toughness." Teenagers with this disorder have
also been described as "delinquent" or "anti-social."

Disorders, in its eighth year at PACER, was originally organized to
assist parents and families in understanding their rights and
responsibilities in accessing educational and mental health services
for their children. At that time, state-provided services were
extremely limited in nature and scope, and seldom involved families in
making decisions about their children's needs."

"Although the passing and implementation of the Children's Mental
Health Act has improved the design and delivery of services to
children with EBD living in Minnesota, there remains work to be done.
The concerted advocacy of parents is required to ensure that funding
for these services meets the level of need, and that the services
themselves are responsive to the needs of families. PACER continues to
be an essential resource for parents who wish to improve their
advocacy skills, or who require information and assistance in
accessing services for their children with EBD."
