Understanding and Developing Academic and Behavioral Interventions for Students With Bipolar Disorder

Abstract

Despite significant advances in practices for effectively designing and delivering instruction for students with disabilities, educators continue to face challenges addressing the needs of students with emotional and behavioral disorders. Little information is available for educators on accommodations and modifications that would serve the needs of these students and address the unique challenges they present in the classroom. The educational, social, and behavioral needs of students with bipolar disorder are discussed along with suggestions for providing effective accommodations and modifications in the classroom.
