On average, children are identified with behavior disorders

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children are typically identified with behavior disorders in the early elementary years, around ages 6-8, as they are more likely to exhibit behavior problems in a structured setting such as school. While some children may be identified earlier, such as during the preschool years, this is not the norm. Middle school may be a time when behavior problems intensify, but this is not typically when identification of behavior disorders first occurs. Age 16 is also not a typical age for initial identification of behavior disorders.
