Abstract

The study investigated the behavioral ratings of regular classroom and special education teachers and sought to examine the degree to which these educators agreed or disagreed in their perceptions of the problem behavior and adaptive functioning of a group of 31 adolescents who had recently been identified as seriously emotionally disturbed.
