Problem Behaviour and the Development of the Teacher-Child Relationship in Special Education

  • Chapter
Interpersonal Relationships in Education

Part of the book series: Advances in Learning Environments Research ((ALER))

Abstract

In Europe, inclusion of students with special educational needs (SEN) in general education is common practice. However, mainstream education cannot provide all children with the necessary care and education. Therefore, in the Netherlands, approximately 2% of all children are placed in schools for special education (Roeters, 2012; Smeets, 2007). One third of these children in special elementary education cope with psychiatric disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or autism spectrum disorder (Smeets, 2007).
