Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the educational needs of children and youth with behavioral disorders and a growth in special education programs for these students. This growth is reflected in the steady increase in the national service level for this population. This paper presents a rationale for the use of an educational model for meeting the mental health needs of children and youth. The implications of the current definition of seriously emotionally disturbed students in PL 94-142 are examined relative to the programing needs of this population. The programing areas identified are discussed, and suggestions for programing approaches, materials, and resources are made.
