Managing students with behavior disorders: perceived efficacy of interventions

Abstract

This study examined the perceived efficacy of interventions commonly used by teachers of students with behavior disorders. Of 30 interventions used with approximately 1200 students labeled behaviorally disordered, 149 teachers ranked 22 as effective, and 8 were more often ranked as seldom effective. These findings have implications for teachers' preparation and identifying better practices for teaching students with behavior disorders.
