“…Paraprofessional support for students with or at risk for externalizing behavioral disorders is critical. Externalizing behaviors are the most common foci of referrals to child study teams and mental health clinics and constitute approximately 25% of all special education services in schools in the nation (Allen, 2016; Reddy et al, 2009; Reddy, Newman, & Verdesco, 2015). Support for students with or at risk for externalizing behavioral disorders is crucial given the risk for negative outcomes for such students throughout their life span such as academic underachievement, school dropout, interpersonal difficulties (i.e., family and peer relationship issues), driving accidents, teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, suicide, unemployment, health problems, and incarceration (e.g., Barker, Oliver, & Maughan, 2010; Hodgins, Cree, Alderton, & Mak, 2008; Reddy et al, 2009; Schutter, Van Bokhoven, Vanderschuren, Lochman, & Matthys, 2011; Webster‐Stratton & Reid, 2010).…”
