MANAGEMENT OF BEHAVIOUR AND EMOTIONAL DISORDER FOR CHILD INTEGRATION IN SOCIETAL FUNCTIONING: IMPLICATION FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING

FLORENCE UNDIYAUNDEYE

Abstract:

Abstract There is a general acceptance that children with behaviour and emotional disorder have the challenge in social integration with their peers in societal functioning. Understanding the nature of these challenges are explained in specific strategies and designed to encourage a better competency in those skills required to achieve effective social integration. Even though there is no clear evidence of how these strategies are successful, there are originators of ways for future analysis and inference by researchers and provision of measures for specialists in measuring learning outcome. Children who are not coping with emotional and behavioural disorder, academic problems and severe disturbances in relationship with their caregivers could not be assimilated in an inclusive educational setting to place children with emotional and behavioural disorder in regular education, facilities must be provided for early and intensive interventions for children at risk for or diagnosed with emotional behaviour disorder to include academic and parental components. It is very cogent that education for children with emotional and behavioural disorder only offers a place for difficult children to learn and aim at promoting a healthy emotional behavioural development. Even though it is not the core responsibility of school, it does have a contributing role in the upbringing of children since children spend majority of their time within the walls of school. To develop strategies used in the educational and behavioural development of children with emotional and behavioural disorder, interventions in schools could therefore include applying principles of the methods used to reduce dysfunctional behaviour in children such as offering a supportive, responsive and consistent environment in which positive behaviour is encouraged and problem behaviour is limited.
