Washington Task Force on Behavioral Disabilities - 1997 An estimated 9–13 % of youth aged 9–17 with emotional disturbances serious enough to impede their functioning in family, school, or community activities Not severe enough to be identified for special education services. These students often end up suspended, expelled and incarcerated. The Task Force recommended multi-tiered transdisciplinary “comprehensive system of care” with universal, targeted at-risk, and intensive level services.
