Abstract
Technology is a prevalent part of life in the 21st century. The COVID-19 pandemic made technology even more critical in providing services to school-aged children. Children with behavioral disorders were particularly impacted as mental healthcare services often used by children with behavior disorders were strained by the stressors related to the pandemic. This chapter reviews the technologies currently used to provide services and support to children identified with behavior disorders, their teachers, and their families. Cautions concerning the use of technology with this highly vulnerable population are explored. Suggestions for the future use of technology for students with behavior disorders are made.
