The term does not apply to children who are socially maladjusted, unless it is determined that they have an emotional disturbance.” In Best Practices in Assessing and Differentiating ED/SM in Children and Adolescents (MEDS-PDN), a simple guide to differentiating Emotional Disturbance from Social Maladjustment includes the following criteria: ED No SM Yes Was the behavior instrumental in obtaining some secondary gain, particularly to benefit the child or harm another person?
