Emotional or behavioral disability

An emotional or behavioral disability is a disability that impacts a person's ability to effectively recognize, interpret, control, and express fundamental emotions. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 characterizes the group of disabilities as Emotional Disturbance (ED). This term is controversial, as it is seen by some as excluding – or even discriminating against – students with behavioral issues and focusing solely on emotional aspects.
