In issue 37(1) of this journal, the authors published the findings of three studies addressing the status of Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders (CCBD) as an organization and of the field of special education for students with emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD). In order to continue discussion of the status of CCBD, the editors of this journal invited three distinguished scholars from the field--Geoff Colvin, Steve Forness, and Mike Nelson--to comment on the article. In this paper, the authors highlight three topics on which they agree and about which they believe the CCBD Executive Committee (EC) needs to act. The authors also discuss the few inconsistencies between their findings and some of the recommendations of their distinguished colleagues, recognizing that these topics require further study. The authors begin with a discussion of the consistencies between their findings and the insights presented by Colvin, Forness, and Nelson on three issues: (a) the need for an organizational name change, (b) professional development, and (c) increased role in advocacy.
