title: Elementary students in classes for the emotionally disturbed: characteristics and classroom behavior.
abstract: Data are presented on 147 elementary students enrolled in special-education classes for the emotionally disturbed/behaviorally disordered, housed in self-contained classrooms within the regular public schools of a large urban district. Demographic, psychiatric, academic, and observational characteristics were assessed. From these data, inferences are made about the needs of children enrolled in these classes.
