Abstract

Emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD) attract considerable attention and resources in the Irish education system. The complexities of EBD can lead to misunderstandings and misconceptions. This article reports on some of the findings of a research project which examined the understandings of EBD and the attitudes and responses to be found in mainstream schools in Ireland, focusing particularly on similarities and differences between the primary and post-primary sectors.
