I picked up this book as I work with students with emotional and behavioral disabilities (and Autism Spectrum/Multiple Disabilities) It is a short read, only 56 pages when you do not include the appendix of resources. I thought it might give me some ideas to work with my K-1 students, but the information was so basic I did not find it useful or new. I am always reading many sources related to education, particularly early childhood and special education. This book missed the mark. It said in the synopsis that it would share strategies, but the strategies were so basic and did not give information on how to implement them (such as taking behavior data, using active ignoring etc.) It could have been a great pocket guide of strategies, but it just missed the mark and read more like a basic definitions book.

Another book I read for work!
This is a fairly minimalist introduction to Emotional Disturbances. It doesn't really do anything novel or noteworthy, more of a handy reference material for further investigation. In fact, the text itself is only about 60 pages. The rest are just resources, glossary, etc.
Talk about bare bone.
