Abstract
State definitions of behavior disorder were analyzed and compared to results of a survey completed several years ago. In many ways the definitions remained constant, but important changes were also noted. One significant development in state definitions of behavior disorder was a trend toward similarity to the federal term and definition of “seriously emotionally disturbed.” Implications for educators of the behaviorally disordered were discussed.Keywords
