Abstract
School personnel often misclassify a Conduct Disordered student as Severely Emotional Disturbed following a serious offense. Educators must remember, however, that mislabeling a child in order to obtain services, to prevent a child from being expelled, or to remove the stu dent to a special classroom is both inappropriate and unethical. What, then, should school administrators do?Keywords
