Abstract

ABSTRACT 

Most of the research on severe behavioral disorders (SBD) and school conflicts carried out in our country has focused on peer violence and the scenarios in which it occurs. The aims of the present research are to study the ways in which students who show SBD in high schools of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) are being dealt with and to check if the obtained results comply the basic prevention criteria provided by the State Study on School Coexistence in Secondary Education (Díaz-Aguado, 2010). A transversal descriptive study is carried out. The participants are the population of educational counselors (N=217) of the high school of the region. An ad hoc questionnaire of interjudge reliability is provided with the aim of responding to research question through 6 categories: process of incorporation into the family, student’s knowledge, individual educational response, educational center response, external services and global assessment. The results indicate that there are three key elements to be highlighted: the need for protocols of educational activities and interventions to be carried out in the educational center and with those students, the lack of teacher training and to improve the coordination with Mental Health and the Social Services. The results determine that the interventions that are currently being carried out are insufficient and should be revised in order to be efficient. This way, a more specific response could be given to the needs of the students with SBD to improve their integral development and the school coexistence
