Abstract
Assessment of behavior disorders and emotional disturbance is a difficult task; a generally recognized classification system does not exist, definitions of emotional disturbance are far from clear, incidence figures vary, and a plethora of hypotheses have been forwarded to explain its existence. This paper reviews the major issues involved in pre-intervention assessment of children with this handicapping condition and makes recommendations for school psychologists in the psycho-educational evaluation of behavior disordered and emotionally disturbed children.Keywords
