Education Bibliography: leaves 134-145 In 1986, the Department of Education in Newfoundland and Labrador developed a policy concerning its services for behavior disordered students. The teaching unit assigned to provide these services was entitled Educational Therapist. -- The purpose of this study was to examine the educational therapist's services offered to behavior disordered students. Educational therapists throughout the Province completed a survey questionnaire regarding their own background, characteristics of the children, and the interventions provided for these students. Fifty- nine therapists responded and provided information about themselves and 306 core behavior disordered children. -- The analysis of responses included the characteristics and problems of children labeled behavior disordered in these units; the nature of services and treatments being provided; the training and background of the therapists, as well as their perception of further training needs. Results indicate that educational therapists work with a variety of behavior disordered children. -- The training and background of therapists are varied and there is little consensus among those surveyed related to the role and function of the educational therapist. Results would indicate a strong need to further research the effectiveness of these positions along with their appropriate roles in the school system.
