Gage  \nUniversity of Florida  \nAbstract  \nStudents receiving special education services for emotional disturbance (ED) present school personnel with many challenges and those challenges can typically be described as the manifestation of externalizing and internalizing behaviors. To date, most research has focused on students exhibiting externalizing behaviors. This study addresses this gap by examining (a) prevalence of students receiving special education services for ED manifesting internalizing behaviors,(b) characteristics of students with ED manifesting internalizing behaviors, and (c) the relationship between teachers’ perceptions of internalizing behaviors and students’ self-report of internalizing behaviors. Using a nationally representative sample of students receiving special education services for ED, a latent class analysis was conducted to identify an internalizing class of students. Characteristics of those students were then examined based on a direct assessment of students. Results indicate that approximately 7% of students receiving special education services for ED manifest internalizing behaviors and that teachers’ ratings of in-class behavior were accurate when compared with students’ self-report of internalizing behaviors.  \nStudents receiving special education services for Emotional Distur  \nbance (ED) present many challenges to educators and have among the worst short and long term outcomes among students with high incidence disabilities, including poor academic achievement, high suspension and drop-out rates, and increased risk for arrest (Bradley, Doolittle, & Bartolotta, 2008; Bradley, Henderson, & Monfore, 2004). Complicating intervention efforts is heterogeneity within the disability category (Wagner, Kutash, Duchnowski, Epstein, & Sumi, 2005), with students manifesting a myriad of social, emotional, and behavioral characteristics and profiles. ED heterogeneity can be mediated via two classes of behavior: externalizing and internalizing behaviors (Kauffman & Landrum, 2012). Externalizing behaviors are characterized  \nPreparation of this article was supported, in part, by a grant from the Institute for Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education (R324B080007) .

Internalizing behaviors are characterized as behavior patterns directed inwardly towards oneself and include depression, socialwithdrawal, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and selective mutism (Gresham & Kern, 2004; Morris, Shah, & Morris, 2002). Students with internalizing behaviors may have difficulty making and sustaining friendships absent of concomitant aggressive behavior, display depressed affect consistently across multiple settings, or be extremely reluctant to speak even though they have the requisite skills (Kendiziora, 2004).  \nTypically, prevalence statistics for students receiving special education services for ED, including the annual Individuals with Disabilities Education ACT (IDEA, 2004) Reports to Congress (U.S. Department of Education, 2008) and research estimates (e.g., Forness, Freeman, Paparella, Kauffman, & Walker, 2012), aggregate all students within the ED category together, regardless of emotional or behavioral profile (i.e., internalizing, externalizing, comorbid) .
