Co-editors, Associate Editors, and Cohort Review Team members for Teaching Exceptional Children were asked to nominate qualified individuals to identify seminal articles in the area of behavioral disorders. The nominees identified in this first phase of the study recommended the top 19 classic contributions in behavioral disorders. In the second phase of the study, a self-identified panel of 172 persons in the area of behavioral disorders rank ordered these 19 classic works. Results are discussed in relation to another study that examined seminal contributions in the broader area of special education and in relation to the history of behavioral disorders.
