Behavioral Disorders (BD)

Behavioral Disorders is an influential quarterly journal that has been publishing cutting‑edge research since 1975, providing a critical scholarly platform for understanding and addressing emotional and behavioural disorders in children and adolescents. Published by SAGE Publishing in association with the Hammill Institute on Disabilities and the Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders (CCBD), the journal features original empirical investigations, theoretical analyses, program evaluations, intervention studies and position papers relevant to educators, clinicians, psychologists and policymakers. Its scope covers the full spectrum of behavioural issues — from assessment and identification of emotional and behavioural disorders to the design and evaluation of instructional and therapeutic interventions that support positive student outcomes. The journal emphasizes evidence‑based practice, encouraging contributions that move beyond description toward solutions that can be applied in schools and clinical settings. Both quantitative and qualitative studies are welcomed, with strong value placed on research that examines real‑world challenges faced by practitioners and supports inclusive, equitable practice. Through rigorous peer review and a commitment to scholarly excellence, Behavioral Disorders continues to shape research agendas, inform teacher preparation programs, and influence policy discussions in special education and behavioural health.
