EDDT/EDDT-PF
Effective Assessment of Emotional
Disturbance
1
Purpose
• Assess a different approach to evaluating
Social Maladjustment (SM) which treats it as
a supplemental, proportional trait (not part of
an either-or ED/SM diagnosis)
• Accomplish this in the context of a
standardized instrument that addresses all
areas of the IDEA definition of Emotional
Disturbance (ED)
2
Definition of ED (IDEA, 2004)
(i) The term means a condition exhibiting one or more of the following
characteristics over a long period of time to a marked degree that
adversely affects a child’s educational performance:
A) An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual,
sensory, or health factors
B) An inability to build or maintain satisfactory relationships with
peers and teachers
C) Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal
circumstances
D) A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression
E) A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated
with personal or school problems
(ii) The terms includes schizophrenia. The term does not apply to
children who are socially maladjusted unless it is determined that
they have an emotional disturbance.
3
Characteristics Typically
Associated with ED
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Behavior is involuntary or reactive
Disruptive behaviors are emotionally-driven
Student feels remorseful
Student is self-critical
Student experiences feelings of inadequacy
Student tends to be anxious and guilt-laden
Student has few if any friends
(Clarizio, 1992b; Constenbader & Buntaine, 1999)
4
DSM-IV Diagnoses That May
Be Associated With ED
• Affective Disorders (Depression, Dysthymia, Bipolar
Disorder, Cyclothymia)
• Eating Disorders
• Generalized Anxiety Disorders
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders
• Panic Disorders
• Phobias
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Reactive Attachment Disorder
• Schizophrenia
• Separation Anxiety Disorder
• Somatization Disorder
(Tansy, 2007)
5
Characteristics Typically
Associated with SM
• Knows and understands rules and norms, but
intentionally breaks and rejects conventions
• Perceives self to be “normal” and able to behave
“normally” when needed
• Views rule-breaking as normal and acceptable
• Misbehavior does not result in anxiety or
remorse unless caught
(Clarizio, 1992a; Clarizio, 1992b; Kelly, 1990)
6
DSM-IV Diagnoses Typically
Associated with SM
• Oppositional Defiant Disorder
– Defiance
• Conduct Disorder
– Violate rights of others and societal rules
• Anti-Social Personality Disorder
– CD characteristics since age 15
– Diagnosed after age 18
7
“Concept Drift” for Psychopathy
• DSM and DSM-II: Specific personality
variables were central to the diagnosis of
“psychopathic personality disturbance”
• DSM-III and DSM-IV: Psychopathy was
redefined as antisocial personality disorder
and was defined behaviorally to increase
reliability
(Hare, Hart, & Harpur, 1991)
8
Characteristics of Psychopathy
• Deficient Affective Experience: Callous, low
remorse, weak conscience, low guilt, low empathy,
shallow affect, failure to accept responsibility
• Arrogant Interpersonal Style: Glibness or superficial
charm, self-centeredness, grandiose sense of selfworth, lying, conning, manipulative, deceitful
• Impulsive/Irresponsible Behavioral Style: Boredom,
excitement seeking, reward-dominant response
style, lack of long-term goals, impulsivity, parasitic
lifestyle
(Cleckley, 1941; Cooke and Michie, 2001; Cooke et al, 2004;
Farrington, 2005; Hare, 1990; Salekin et al., 2003, 2005; Yochelson
& Samenow, 1976)
9
Summary of the Major Risk Factors Associated With Conduct Disorder
• Dispositional risk factors
Contextual risk factors
• Neurochemical abnormalities
Pre-natal exposure to toxins
• Autonomic irregularity
Early exposure to poor quality
child care
• Birth complications
Parental psychopathology
• Difficult child temperament
Family conflict
• Impulsivity
Inadequate parental
supervision and discipline
• Preference for dangerous and
Lack of parental involvement
and novel activities
and neglect
• Reward dominant response style
Peer rejection
• Low verbal intelligence
Association with a deviant
peer group
• Academic underachievement
Impoverished living conditions
• Deficits in processing social info
Exposure to violence
Frick (2004)
10
Developmental Pathways
• 1. Childhood Onset – high CU
• 2. Childhood Onset – low CU
•
3. Adolescent Onset
11
Existing Arguments
• “Treating disruptive behaviors of SM students as
manifestations of a disability creates difficulties with
regard to student accountability, administrative
discipline, and burnout among teachers” (Gacono &
Hughes, 2004)
• ED and SM are distinctive enough that they need and
benefit from different types of programs (Theodore et al.,
2004)
• Incarcerated youth have seven times the incidence of
ED of “normals” but are often not identified/served until
after incarceration. ED students are equally likely to be
violent or non-violent (Johnson et al., 2001)
12
Existing Arguments (continued)
• ED is correlated with antisocial behavior so that
ED students are often SM (Kehle et al., 2004)
• SM students often have internalized problems
too, so SM/ED overlap is common (Davis et al.,
2002; Seeley e. al., 2002; Marriage et al., 1986)
• There is no discernible difference in SM and ED
students (Bower, 1982 as in Tansy, 2004)
• ED and SM cannot be completely distinguished
(Constenbader & Bundaine, 1999)
13
ED: Internalizing,
depressed,
anxious
SM:
Externalizing,
callous and
unemotional,
psychopathy
ED: Externalizing,
emotional and not
calloused,
affectively
disregulated,
emotionally
overreactive
14
Overview- the SM / ED Problem
• Dichotomy – IDEA language, Political
Issues
• Internalizing/Externalizing Model
• Failure to Consider Comorbidity (SM and
masked ED present)
• Misdiagnosis and Exclusion
15
Alternatives to
Dichotomization and Exclusion
• Include SM Under the ED Umbrella (Olympia et al., 2004)
• Differentiate SM and ED but Provide SM Treatment
(Hughes & Bray, 2004)
• Use a “Two Factor” Model of SM That Includes Both
Behavior and Internal Attitudes, to Overcome
Externalization Equivalence and Assure True SM (Gacono
& Hughes, 2004, Tansy, 2004; Frick, Barry, & Bodin, 2000;
Harpur et al., 1989)
• Evaluate ED Based on the Actual IDEA Criteria First, Then
Treat SM as a Supplemental and Relative Issue (Euler,
16
2007)
Emotional Disturbance Decision Tree
The EDDT is a standardized, norm-referenced
scale that assists in the identification of students
who may meet IDEA (2004) criteria for Emotional
Disturbance (ED). It is normed for ages 5-18.
The EDDT is criterion referenced. It is based on
the criteria presented in the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act of 2004 It maps on to all
the ED criteria.
The EDDT takes 1520 minutes to
complete and 15
minutes to score.
The EDDT was designed to be completed by
teachers or other professionals (e.g., school
psychologists, clinical psychologists,
diagnosticians, counselors, social workers) who
have had substantial contact with the student. It is
not a parent rating scale, although parents can
contribute.
17
Emotional Disturbance Decision Tree –
Parent Form
• Provides a standardized approach to
gathering parent information about children’s
functioning in the areas that make up the
federal ED criteria.
• Normed for ages 5-18
• 15-20 minutes to complete, 15 minutes to
score
• When considered with data from the EDDT,
promotes a comprehensive assessment of
the student across both school and home
environments
• Promotes integration of parent input in the
eligibility process
• Spanish Version
Measuring Never-Defined Criteria:
The Development of the EDDT
The original items were based on:
• Literature on ED and SM (heavily considered)
• Author’s experience with regard to how ED
characteristics are manifested by students
• Key features of conduct problems and antisocial
attitudes observed by the author in both school
and correctional settings
19
Next, two pilot studies were conducted:
– First study: 2-year period in multiple schools during
which the working group and author met regularly for
feedback about items and the overall measure.
– Second study: Assessed effectiveness of the
measure. School psychologists, educational
diagnosticians, and other professionals rated the
degree to which the EDDT items accurately reflected
ED and SM. Results also analyzed in terms of internal
consistency and correlations with other published
measures.
20
Development of the EDDT (continued)
Standardization version:
• Further input from practicing school psychologists
• Select items were rewritten for clarity
• Following data gathering, the scales were further
modified with the goal of reducing the number of items to
a more reasonable level while maintaining excellent
score reliability and validity
• Frequency distributions, item-with-total correlations, and
consistency coefficients were examined. Items with low
specificity and low correlations were eliminated, as well
as items were reassigned to scales depending on its best
fit.

Problems Can Conceivably Have an ED Also,
but Separate Contribution of an ED is Harder to
Prove: Rigorous Evidence Needed

Case Study: Edison
Background
• 13-year-old male, 7th grade
• Previous exposure to domestic violence by father
• Edison, his mother, and an 8-year-old sister have been
residents of a local homeless shelter for 8 months
• Previous state of residence IEP indicated OHI-ADHD,
recently back on stimulant meds and typical ADHD
behavior improved
• Behavior:
–
–
–
–
One half of work done
Fights, Cruel
Marijuana use?
Disregards parent rules
– Stares off
– Hangs with “bad” kids
– Short unstable relationships
– Poor social skills
– Bragging about gang affiliation
– Threw rocks at a dog
47
Case Study: Edison
Assessment Results
• Refused to go to community-based therapy
• FBA and BIP for increasing work output and reducing
aggression were not successful
• Conners Rating Scale scores (ADHD) were extremely
pronounced, despite the fact he is on medication
• High externalizing scores on the BASC-2 for
Hyperactivity, Conduct Problems, and Aggression
• High Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory scores for
Unruliness, Oppositionality, Delinquent Predisposition,
and Substance Abuse Proneness
48
Edison Case Study:
Pre EDDT Profile Summary
Evidence for Social Maladjustment:
• High Conduct and Aggression Scores
• Weak in internal right - wrong
• Impulsive, Delinquent
• Picks fights, enjoys
• Animal cruelty
• Serious disregard of authority
• Aggressive
• Some of the behaviors such as staring off could be
ADHD
Unclear, Weak Picture as to Emotional Disturbance
49
EDDT/EDDT-PF Results
EDDT:
• REL, IBF, Severity, Impact = High Clinical
• PM/DEP, ADHD, SM = Moderate Clinical
Additional considerations:
• SM items suggest irresponsibility, resistance to
authority, aggressiveness, and school aversion.
Manipulative and “user” of others items were not
endorsed.
• Spacey behavior – PTSD?
• Rock throwing – modeling?
50
EDDT/EDDT-PF Results
EDDT-PF
• REL, IBF, PM/DEP, ADHD, Severity = High
Clinical
• SM = Moderate Clinical
• RES = Significantly Below Average
• Motivated by Tangible/Consumable Motivators
Additional considerations
• Depression is expressed externally through
irritability and negativism
• Masked ED?
51
Edison Case Study: Post EDDT Profile
the Case for Incremental Validity
EDDT Provides Evidence That Edison Is Both ED and SM
IBF: Anger reactions
REL: Pervasive lack of social skills
PM/DEP: Indicates limited self-esteem, unhappiness
Despite strong “sense” of SM, is in Moderate SM range
Endorsement of aggressive and authority challenging
behaviors (dislikes school, violates rules, fights) but little
evidence of antisocial attitude (manipulation to meet own
needs)
Moderate Clinical ADHD symptomology despite medication
Needs ongoing medication review
Normative Severity & Educational Impact – Both High
52
Treatment
Frick (2004)
Developmental Pathways
• 1. Childhood Onset, high callous and
unemotional (CU)
• Increase empathetic concern
53
Treatment
• 2. Childhood Onset, low CU
• Inhibit impulsive and angry responses
54
Treatment
• 3. Adolescent Onset
• Involvement in extracurricular activities
given its potential positive effects on the
student’s identity development and the
focus on increasing contact with prosocial
peers in a structured setting.
