This session briefly explores issues relevant to applying IDEA’s Emotional Disturbance eligibility criteria. Topics discussed are the identification of a “condition” and the need to connect such to at least one of the five emotional disturbance characteristics. Also examined are the three limiting criteria, what their function is, and how to ensure that they are addressed within an emotional disturbance eligibility determination.
