Abstract

The assessment and identification of emotional and behavioral disturbance remain a practice domain persistently beset with concern for inequity, amplified by the stark outcomes of identified students. Outcomes are especially dire for students from racially minoritized backgrounds, and special education is considered by many to be a means of de facto marginalization and segregation. DisCrit offers a lens through which to conceptualize the identification of ED in schools such that profession-wide aspirations related to social justice, equity, and cultural competence can be advanced. In this chapter, we provide a brief introduction to DisCrit, research on ED assessment and identification, and the intersections thereof, followed by a case study and experiential activities.
