Abstract
This article provides a national perspective of children and youth with emotional disturbances (ED) served in special education using data from the Special Education Elementary Longitudinal Study (SEELS) and the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2). Data sources include teachers, school records, the students, and their parents. Results indicate that children and youth with ED live in households in which there are multiple risk factors for poor life outcomes.
