The upbringing and education of children should be a priority of every society. An individual is part of society. Society is made of individuals. Every individual is extremely important for society because ensuring that everyone’s needs are met brings prosperity to society and determines the climate within it. To ensure optimal conditions for such development, great efforts are being made in pre-school and primary education. For most children, upbringing and education are targeted at the child’s development and progress and are appropriate to their needs. Such an approach ensures the best learning outcomes for each student. But what about children who are “different” from most of their peers? Those who just “don’t fit” into certain frameworks and where it is evident that their needs require a different approach? Most countries have not yet found an adequate answer to these and similar questions. The needs of children with emotional and behavioral problems throughout history have most often been neglected. Their conditions were described as simple childish disobedience, lack of education, incompetence. Such perceptions have, fortunately, changed over time. Society has recognized the importance of a child-centered approach and started to change towards supporting the needs of every child. As these are students who often pose a danger and harm to themselves and others, and their behaviors deviate from the norms of expected behaviors, their needs are very different from most students. The research conducted in this master thesis will consider the specifics of the needs and support of students with emotional and behavioral problems, more precisely emotional and behavioral disorders as the most extreme form of emotional and behavioral problems in the educational system. The aim was to determine the specifics of the support that the education system offers to students with emotional and behavioral disorders in special education classrooms. The research confirmed the hypothesis that it is possible to adequately meet the educational needs of students with emotional and behavioral problems by applying appropriate support strategies. Individualized approach, evidence-based strategies, sensitization, and education of those in charge of the upbringing and education of this group of students are just some of the basic support strategies.
