Abstract | To determine if its current mission and purpose are in line with contemporary issues in the field, the Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders (CCBD) commissioned a 3-year project that included three separate but related studies. This mixed-methods research, carried out over a 20-month period during 2008-2010, was conducted as three separate but related studies, each of which built on the previous study. The three studies allowed for triangulation in the identification of themes, the major goal of the research. Overall, it appears that CCBD members (the primary respondents in each of these studies) have a somewhat consistent vision of the desired membership of the organization. Regardless of their professional role, they believe that CCBD should focus activities on meeting the needs of professionals who are educators of students with behavioral disorders as opposed to the broader category of those who are "mental health personnel." Furthermore, although the number of students who are served as students with behavioral disorders has been reduced by national efforts to serve students with autism and students with ADHD under disability categories other than "emotional disturbance," the participants in Studies 1 and 2 want the focus of the organization to remain on students with emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD) who experience both academic and behavioral deficits. Similarly, adjudicated youth would also need to meet this same criterion of E/BD to be considered a primary focus of the organization. Overall, it seems clear that members perceive CCBD as an educational organization that addresses the needs of students with E/BD, as opposed to a mental health organization.
