Abstract

The Systematic Screening for Behavior Disorders (SSBD) procedure was implemented by 58 teachers within a series of elementary schools in the state of Utah; a total of 1,446 elementary-school children were screened in this process. The focus of this investigation was upon replication of the procedural integrity and outcomes of the SSBD screening-identification procedure for children with school-related behavior disorders. The study results indicated that the SSBD could accurately and efficiently identify children in need of special services, thus confirming results of prior research. In addition, it was shown that the SSBD was viewed as cost efficient by its school-based users primarily because it (a) required less professional time than traditional school referral and assessment processes, and (b) allowed for the systematic, proactive screening of all students. The SSBD procedure also was preferred as an initial screening device by the majority of participating teachers and related-services professionals involved in its implementation.
