Scenаriо: At а district trаining, staff review IDEA’s definitiоn оf emotional disturbance (ED) to clarify eligibility. Different viewpoints emerge: Mr. Alvarez: reminds the team that IDEA includes conditions such as a pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression when they interfere with learning. Ms. Green: points out that bipolar disorder can qualify under ED if it adversely impacts educational performance. Dr. Chen: adds that serious psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia are also explicitly included. Mr. Thomas: argues that students who are socially maladjusted automatically meet the ED criteria, since their behaviors disrupt the classroom. The facilitator emphasizes: “One of these conditions is specifically excluded under IDEA’s definition of ED, unless another qualifying condition is also present.” Which of these conditions is explicitly excluded under IDEA’s definition of emotional disturbance?

Scenаriо: A teаm оf educаtоrs is preparing classroom supports for students with autism. In their planning meeting, they discuss behaviors they’ve seen: One teacher notes that some students repeat words or phrases they’ve just heard (echolalia). Another describes students engaging in repetitive actions such as rocking or hand-flapping (self-stimulation). A third shares that a few students occasionally engage in behaviors that cause harm to themselves (self-injury/self-mutilation). A fourth adds that many students with autism seem to struggle with sadness and may even develop depression, which she assumes is a defining feature of the disorder. Which of these is not considered a defining or commonly observed characteristic of autism? (6)
