Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is the best choice because children with severe E/BD typically exhibit behaviors that attract attention, such as aggression, self-injury, or disruption in the classroom. As a result, teachers and other school staff are likely to recognize and respond to these behaviors, even without formal screening or assessment procedures.

While teachers may be trained in the use of behavior rating scales (A), this would not necessarily facilitate the recognition of severe E/BD in all cases. Similarly, systematic screening procedures (B) may be useful for identifying students who are at risk for behavioral problems, but may not be sufficient in all cases to diagnose severe E/BD. Finally, while some schools may have psychologists on-site (D), this is not a universal practice and would not necessarily impact the recognition of severe E/BD by teachers and other school staff.
