Imagine not identifying a student with hearing loss until they are in 3rd grade?  Or what about a student with visual impairment until 5th grade?  Imagine the amount of time and energy lost in their education by not providing the appropriate supports for them.

This is why Dr. Kimberly Vannest is such a big proponent of universal screenings for students with emotional and behavioral disorders.  Often they are not identified until later in their schooling, after so much time is lost.  In this episode we talk about the need for universal screenings and how teachers can begin to identify and support students with emotional and behavioral disorders in their classroom.  We wrap up with a conversation about single-subject or case research and why teachers are already doing this on a daily basis.
