An emotional disturbance is caused by a traumatic event, memory or experience. A person can have an emotional disturbance from a close family member passing away. Or, an argument with a loved one. The disturbance would show itself in the form of sadness, depression, crying or over eating sometimes.

What does the Differential Scales of Social Maladjustment and Emotional Disturbance measure?

Taken from the Differential Scales of Social Maladjustment and Emotional Disturbance (DSSMED) manual: The Differential Scales of Social Maladjustment and Emotional Disturbance (DSSMED), is a 46-item, norm-referenced rating scale that can be used to differentiate between students with social maladjustment and those with emotional disturbance. It is also effective in identifying cases of Co-Morbidity (i.e. students exhibiting characteristics of social maladjustment and emotional disturbance who might otherwise go unidentified and unserved through special education). The DSSMED is normed on a national sample of 1,337 students and has strong reliability and validity. Teachers, school psychologists, or other knowledgeable professionals rate the items on a 5-point Likert-like scale. Ideally, the examiner should be someone who has had regular, daily contact with the student for at least four weeks. Results of the DSSMED can be used as a pre-referral/referral tool to identify “at risk” students, as a subcomponent of a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation of social-emotional-behavioral functioning in children and adolescents, and as one of other sources of data to assist with educational programming decisions.
