Learning Disabled or Emotionally Disturbed

Abstract
Prologue: We had accepted as a fact of public school life the proposition that emotionally disturbed students, usually disguised as learning disabled, would come into the resource room. A 10% increase in disturbed and disturbing students in the last school year made us look more closely at how these students are, or are not, identified. This column is for other special education teachers who wonder where LD ends and ED begins.
