Behaviour Disorders: Implications for Inclusion


From:  Caring and Safe Schools, Ministry of Education, Ontario (www.edu.gov.on.ca)

 Students with behavioural exceptionalities manifest an array of actions  in order to have their needs met.  In addition, students use different forms of expression in response to stimuli and to initiate and/or sustain relationships in the school environment.  Every behaviour communicates a need:  communication, medical, sensory, social, academic, emotional or physical or a combination of needs.  Additionally, students with behaviour disorders often experience deficits in other areas of development including but not limited to:  communication disorders, executive function (neurological) disorders and/or mental health problems.

The chart that follow illustrates the significance of each of the categories above as they relate to the inclusion of students with behavioural disorders:

  2. I love the fact that it mentioned that symptoms of mental health differ from person to person, but that it was also summed up the most common features. I like the chart aspect of the information, as it makes it very easy to read.
