Estimates of prevalence in Canada are assumed to be equally as high, ranging from >1% to 12%, although a lack of consensus and stability in the definition of EBD across the country makes it very difficult to provide valid estimates. These deficits affect performance in fundamental areas of functioning including behaviour, social interactions, social skill fluency, and academic achievement. Remediation in social skills training (SST) is required to help students with EBD develop in their areas of weakness.  \nOne of the major concerns in schools today is the increase in behaviour disorders. Statistics show that nearly 475,000 children and youth attending schools in the US in 2009 were diagnosed with emotional and behavioural disorders (EBDs) (Wilhite & Bullock, 2012, p. 175) . Unlike the United States, Canada has no federal department of education, and no federal responsibility of education , which leaves each jurisdiction, province or territory the responsibility of developing their own individual policies and practices for students with EBD . This leads to a lack of consensus and stability in definitions for EBD across Canada and difficulty providing valid estimates or prevalence (Dworet & Maich, 2007, p. 33. ) Estimated prevalence of students with EBD varies from province to province, within a large range from a “low of \u003C1% in Ontario toa high of 12% in New Brunswick”(Dworet & Maich, 2007, p. 33) . Due to such improbability, the American statistic may be presumed comparable to what one would find in Canada.  \nBehavioural disorders include, but are not limited to, childhood depression, dysthymia, conduct disorders, oppositional defiant disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, selective mutism, and autism (Gresham, Cook, Crews, & Kern, 2004, p. 32) . These deficits affect their performance in fundamental areas of functioning including behaviour, social interactions, social skill fluency, and academic achievement (Simpson, Peterson, & Smith, 2011, p. 230) . Based on the rapid increase of behaviour disorders in our schools, the negative consequences that it has on our students, and the challenges that EBDs pose to our teachers, we need to consider the cause of this disorder, and what can be done to treat it. Effective programming requires committed and qualified professionals in order to assess the needs of students with EBD , find ways to solve their problems by helping them to develop social skills, and further enhance their academic success and overall well-being.  \nCauses and Effects of Emotional and Behavioural Disorders  \nChildren with EBD often come from economically and socially disadvantaged families. Therefore, people are quick to “point the finger” and blame parents for their children’s problems (Farrell, 1995, p. 3) . However, there is not one single cause of emotional and behavioural difficulties. Instead, it is suggested that these problem behaviours are a result of multifaceted interactions between “contextual factors” and “aspects” brought to the situation by the individual (Farrell, 1995, p. 3) . Particular emphasis is placed on the home and school environments, which have a significant influence on the social and emotional adjustment of children. If the home and school environments are both very supportive, and an EBD still exists, a third factor to consider is the “child’s own genetic predisposition,” that is, the possibility that the cause is largely “within  \nthe child” (Farrell, 1995, p. 5) . Pinpointing the single cause of EBD is virtually impossible, as quite often it is a result of in","cbCaiavwvdo9mZma","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiavwvdo9mZma","pdf",144382,"English","# Abstract\n## Causes and Effects of Emotional and Behavioural Disorders\n## Effective Educational Programming for Students with EBD","[{\"question\":\"What prevalence of EBDs is reported for students in the US and Canada?\",\"answer\":\"The text estimates nearly 475,000 children and youth in US schools are diagnosed with EBDs.
