Students with EBD have the lowest graduation rate of all students with disabilities. 
Minorities are less likely to be diagnosed with autism.

Something that stuck out to me from this article was the affect of not being able to intervene early. Not only is the lack of access a problem for minority groups, but an even bigger problem is not being able to get a diagnosis and intervention plan early on

Emotional and behavioral disabilities may not cause academic problems but there is a correlation between the two. The graduation rates for students with emotional and behavioral disabilities are quite low.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it's impossible to determine which aspect is causing which (EBD and academic problems) because they both influence each other so much and can make each other worse,

# data[].attributes.body
It seems like emotional and behavioral disorders do cause academic problems, especially due to the increased likelihood that students with these disorders are more likely to be suspended. It also seems that race does play a factor as

# data[].attributes.body
It can work both ways. Each one can lead to the other occurring.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a correlation between behaviors problems and academic problems. Graduation rates have proven this

# data[].attributes.body
I think there is a correlation between students with emotional and behavioral disorders and academic problems especially when there is a disparity on diagnosis based on ethnicity and race.

# data[].attributes.body
There seems to be a common thread between emotional and behavioral disorders and academic performance.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that children with emotional and behavior disorders do many times have academic issues, but I believe that many times they co exist and correlate.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that emotional and behavioral disorders can affect academics.  African American boys and girls are disproportionately suspended at higher rates than their peers.  Black children are also misdiagnosed at higher rates.

# data[].attributes.body
we can clearly see how minorities can suffer more. it mentions early intervention and it states that minorities require longer and intensive intervention since it takes longer for them to be diagnosed

# data[].attributes.body
I found it very upsetting that African American students are more likely to be misdiagnosed with a behavior disorder than correctly diagnosed with autism.

# data[].attributes.body
Those in lower socioeconomic circumstances are disproportionately treated less for emotional and behavioral disabilities, which in turn inhibits their academic abilities

# data[].attributes.body
I think having emotional and behavior disorders make learning some academic material difficult, but I do not think those disorders cause them.  Reading those two links I was shocked. In a sad way race and gender play a role.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a correlation between emotional and behaviors and academic problems. Graduation rate is only 40% nationally for students with an EBD compared to the national rate of 76%. Males are were more likely to be expelled compared to females.

# data[].attributes.body
The relationship between EBD & academic issues is circular. Either one can arise due to outside forces. EBD can lead to poor academic performance, but struggling in school may also lead students to develop behavioral or emotional issues in place of appropriate coping mechanisms or assistance seeking.
It is shocking that AA students are 5x more likely to be misdiagnosed with EBD over autism.

# data[].attributes.body
I think emotional and behavior disorders do cause academic problems, but then the academic problems can further exacerbate academic problems

# data[].attributes.body
I think that emotional and behavior disorders do cause academic problems. Many studies have shown that graduation rate and post school job rates are much lower for students with emotional and behavior disorders. Also, suspension rates and arrest rates are much higher for this population. I am not surprised by the data found in these two links because this is what I would expect. I think that race, gender and socioeconomic status do play a huge role and the environment one is from.

# data[].attributes.body
I think there is a very strong connection between students with behavior or emotional disorders and academic success
- only 40% graduate high school compared to 76% of those without an EBD

# data[].attributes.body
I think that race unintentionally plays a role because the article says "contemporary inequalities such as lack of insurance and fewer services offered by Medicaid provider may also play a role". I think that this also includes SES for families. Gender also plays a role because boys are often misdiagnosed with ADHD instead of ASD.

# data[].attributes.body
based on the statistics it seems that EBDs affect graduation rate. The percent of students who graduate with an EBD is 36% lower than the average graduation rate

# data[].attributes.body
I think there is a strong connection between students with behavior/emotional disorders and having academic issues
There also seems to be a correlation between students with the above disorders and ending up in Juvie if they do not have the help and support that they require in school
There is also definitely a role of race, most people seem to be more quick to judge a student of color as just a bad kid instead of seeing if there is a deeper reason behind their problems, so they are more likely to get punished and less likely to get the help and support they need

# data[].attributes.body
I think there is a bidirectional relationship between emotional disturbance and performance in school. Each have an effect on one another and make the other worse. I was unsurprised by what I read in these articles because I know the effects of race and socioeconomic status and how these two factors permeate every issue you can think of.

# data[].attributes.body
Racial/ethnic groups may not have access to adequate health care, and therefore, cannot afford early intervention services critical for improving one's outcome.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a clear correlation between children with behavioral/emotional disorders and lower/ affected academic performance

Gender
One bullet point on the Kelsey site mentions that although the gender split in schools is primarily 50/50, males make up almost 74% of students expelled
Race
Hispanics and African americans made up ~45% of the school population but nearly 55% were expelled

# data[].attributes.body
the connection to me is clear, seems like its a direct correlation

The fact that hispanics are 65% less likely to be diagnosed with Autism, when compared to white children was incomprehensible to me

# data[].attributes.body
- strong correlation between students with behavioral and emotional disorders with academic problems
- correlation does not always imply causation, but it seems like there are racial factors, behavioral problems, and biases that may influence and explain the increased problems that these students face
- race, socioeconomic status, and gender all play a role in the increased academic problems of certain students
