| Description | The text links selected findings of two qualitative researches and thus two perspectives of the situation of children with emotional and behavioral disorders. The first is based on the perspective of children with EBDs. Various types of adaptation strategies of children to their “problematic” situations are presented. The second perspective is based on the point of view of educators from educational facilities and it is represented by two educational needs of children with EBDs, which the educators consider to be one of the most important. The result of the interconnection of these views is the intervention triangle, which illustrates the relationship of the three factors in the context of the behavioral disorder intervention: the child’s attitudinal response to his/her situation, the child’s behavior and the intervention response of the educators. |
