This paper examines congressional intent regarding the treatment of children with behavior problems and, by examining administrative and court decisions interpreting these provisions, compares those intentions with actual implementation of the mandate. It also includes a brief discussion of the research supporting use of Functional Behavioral Assessments and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports and identifies programs that have successfully applied these concepts. The trends and arguments highlighted here can inform the work of attorneys and advocates who represent children with emotional and behavioral disorders and policymakers who are truly committed to seeing all children succeed in school.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, IDEA, is supposed to ensure that all children with disabilities have access to an appropriate public education. However, schools may be barring that access for many children with mental and emotional disorders by using inadequate assessment rules. This issue brief illustrates the need for federal policy changes to encourage earlier and more accurate identification of children with mental and emotional disorders under the IDEA. (February 2003)
