Abstract

This study investigated the use of a social skills intervention to increase positive behaviors of students with emotional or behavioral disorders. A small group of two fifth-grade students in a rural Midwest school received the social skills curriculum Be Good People for eight weeks. Progress was monitored through student self-reported and teacher-reported direct behavior ratings on the behaviors of respectful interactions, following directions, and showing self-control. Results indicated an increase in positive behavior for one student, and variable behavior ratings for the other.
