JAMES M. KAUFFMAN
I joined the UVA
faculty in 1970. My primary categorical areas of interest in special
education are emotional and behavioral disorders (or, in the language of
current federal law, "emotional disturbance") and learning
disabilities. I'm also interested in policy and ethical issues and in the
history of the field. I'm now Professor Emeritus of education. From
1999 until I retired in June, 2003, I held the Charles S. Robb Chair in
education at UVA. I also held the William Clay Parrish, Jr. chair for two
years (1992-1994). For three years I was Associate Dean for Research and for
four years was Chair of the Department of Special Education in our Curry
School of Education. Three of my former doctoral students very kindly
edited a Festschrift in my honor: Jean B. Crockett, Michael M. Gerber, and
Timothy J. Landrum (2007), Achieving the radical reform of special education: Essays in
honor of James M. Kauffman. Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. I received my undergraduate degree in elementary
education from Goshen College in 1962 and my M.Ed. in teaching in the
elementary school from Washburn University in 1966. My professional experience
includes teaching regular elementary students in Indiana and Kansas public
schools, emotionally disturbed students in a public elementary school special
class in Kansas, and severely emotionally disturbed students of elementary
and middle school age at Southard School (the Children's Division of the
Menninger Clinic, then located in Topeka, KS). In 1969, I received my Ed.D.
in special education from the University of Kansas. I am nearly always working on publications of
one kind or another, including books such as the following (see my vita for a more complete listing): • Characteristics of Emotional and Behavioral
Disorders of Children and Youth (now in its 9th edition, 2009,
co-authored with Timothy J. Landrum; also published with the 9th edition is
the 2nd edition of a separate casebook, also co-authored with Timothy J.
Landrum) • Exceptional Learners: Introduction to Special
Education (co-authored with Daniel P. Hallahan and Paige C. Pullen; now
in its 11th edition, 2009) • Learning Disabilities: Foundations,

Hallahan, John Wills Lloyd, Margaret P. Weiss, and Elizabeth A. Martinez (now
