Abstract
The paper looks at the impact on the classroom of the presence of an emotionally disturbed student and explores the role and strategies of the educator in establishing control over the emotionally disturbed student's negative behaviors. The paper highlights how educators must attempt to positively impact emotionally disturbed students and provide them with a supportive confidence in his or her capacity to demonstrate growth, to grasp educational concepts and to achieve these within the framework of acceptable social and behavioral conditions. The paper concludes that of key importance is positive reinforcement, and the ability to achieve this will hinge heavily on the educator's ability to establish a real and trust-based relationship with the student, to access all available resources and support system members and to maintain the crucial individual attentiveness that every special needs student requires.

Literature Review
Conclusion and Recommendations

From the Paper
"The reality of special education is that those with learning disabilities and those with behavioral problems are frequently categorized similarly. The latter group often will possess distinct learning or cognitive disabilities which may be related to the behaviors which suggest an individual to be emotionally disturbed. Where this is not the case, it still remains often the case that emotionally disturbed students are lumped in with special learning needs students or even general populations. As the article by Ogonosky (2009) argues, this places a pressing impetus upon the instructor to achieve control over the classroom as a way both to enhance the emotionally disturbed student's opportunities for learning and to diminish the threat of disruption for the other students in the classroom. Ogonosky warns that such disruption can take myriad forms and that a special education or inclusion classroom teacher must be prepared to confront this disruption appropriately in all of its forms. While there is never a condition in which disruptive or inappropriate behavior is to be accepted or tolerated, it is anticipated that an educator working with an emotionally disturbed student will nonetheless encounter these behaviors and perhaps with some regularity. As the article indicates, "tantrums, defiance, aggression, poor academic progress, poor social skills and passive noncompliance of requests (such as putting heads down on desks) can present a challenge. But educators can have success with children who have emotional disturbances if they get support from co-workers and consistently implement behavioral strategies and classroom management techniques." (Ogonosky, 1)"

From the Paper
"Three authors present characters who are disturbed, whose disturbance has a particular effect on friends and family, and whose problems are addressed in different ways by the authors. Tennessee Williams creates a memorable character in Blanche DuBois, the genteel Southern lady whose sexual obsessions are followed by her in a world of illusions by which she maintains some sense of self. She comes up against harsh reality in the form of her sister's husband, Stanley Kowalski. Lila Wingo is the mother of the suicidal patient in Pat Conroy's novel Prince of Tides, and she has her illusions as well. She is a source of distress not only for her daughter but for her son, Tom--daughter and son are twins. Beth Jarrett in Judith Guest's novel Ordinary People is a third woman who uses illusions to protect herself from the outside world and from the reality that would destroy..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how flexibility of seating arrangements in the classroom can promote learning and positive behavior, and reduce incidents of behavioral problems in emotionally disturbed students. It looks at the need for accommodations to be tailored to each student's specific needs for this student segment.

From the Paper
"Whether emotionally disturbed children are educated in special schools or are integrated into normal school populations as the law now provides for, they often require certain adaptations of the normal classroom setting and procedures to function maximally ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the objective of this research is to study how the educator's response to the student influenced the student's behavior helps or hinders the progress of that student. Next, the author relates that a hybrid quantitative and qualitative research methodology was used with the thoughts and feelings of the teachers as the primary means to measure the dependent variables. The paper includes a detailed summary of the variables, the sample, data collection and analysis and the questions in the survey instrument with the reasons for their inclusion.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"One of the key factors that affected the design of the study is that every child with an emotional disturbance is unique. Their specific needs are addressed by an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), which lays out specific outcomes, performance goals and the course of action that will be taken to achieve them. Only students with more serious emotional disturbances have an IEP, but that does not mean that less severely emotionally disturbed children are any less difficult to handle in the classroom. Accommodations in the classroom allow students with severe emotional disturbances to participate in the regular classroom and to complete the same assignments as other children."

Abstract
This paper analyzes some of "Dracula"'s more disturbing and terrifying aspects as depicted in Bram Stocker's novel. The paper discusses how Stoker exploits some of people's darkest fears in the novel and explains the concept of unseen evil forces.

From the Paper
"Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" is considered by many to be one of the greatest tales of Gothic horror ever written. Stoker utilizes the folklore of vampires that has existed for decades but creates a narrative that examines the terrifying subject in a wholly new light. Indeed there is much in "Dracula" that may be disturbing to readers, as Stoker exploits some of our darkest fears in the novel in order to give the narrative deeper meaning."

Abstract
This paper investigates the problems that are found in the dual status of mental retardation and emotional disturbances for children and teens. This paper takes the perspective that if emotional disturbances are not addressed, these disturbances will likely grow worse and harm the overall quality-of-life for the retarded individual.

Abstract
This paper explains that students with emotional and behavioral disturbances (E/BD) are protected under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) only in the public school setting; yet, E/BD students, who make the transition into postsecondary education at the university level, often find that the school works to accommodate their special needs. The author points out that, when leaving the postsecondary environment and entering professional work environments, this accommodation has caused problems for some E/BD students, who become accustomed to an environment that supports their potentially unusual work habits and social interactions. The paper stresses that a multiple model program at the postsecondary level can help ease this transition to the work environment by assisting E/BD students, on a case-to-case basis, in acquiring skills necessary for success in the post-education setting.

From the Paper
"Even if it is recognized by the employer and the employee that changes can and should be made to the work environment, the E/BD employee can cause challenges to successful goal completion. E/BD affliction can manifest in many distinctive ways, some of which are counterproductive to the work environment, such as antisocial behaviors. For example, E/BD can occur in the form of post traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), which can reduce the coping strategies of social persons and hamper resiliency in stressful events."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer discusses that the effect of natural disturbances such as hurricanes, storms, tornadoes and volcanic activity upon forest ecosystems is a sorely unexplored phenomenon which has extorted frustratingly empty conclusions. The writer points out that current research has acknowledged that such effects are generally varied unpredictable and particular to each individual situation. Furthermore, the writer notes that the effect of such disturbances on forest ecology can be seen as either positive or negative as regards an afflicted ecosystem, possibly both.

Abstract
This research project examines strategies used by shift workers in aviation maintenance to cope with the fatigue and sleep disturbances suffered as a result of interrupted sleeping patterns. A connection is drawn between accidents, injuries and even airplane malfunctions and sleep disturbances in shift workers.

From the Paper
"Approximately 20 percent of the American workforce - some 20 illion workers - work nonstandard hours (Liskowsky, 1992). Shift work may take the form of evening or night work, rotating shifts, irregular shifts, split shifts, or extended-duty hours. The U.S. Office of Technology has asserted that shift work has the potential to disrupt the body's biological rhythms or changes in various physiological and behavioral functions that repeat at regular intervals ranging from minutes to months."
