VA. def'tn of "Emotionally Disabled" and spec ed.
What about "social maladjustment?"
The VA. def'tn of "emotionally disabled" below tracks w the fed def'tn in earlier link.
In VA. definitions:
"child with a "serious emotional disability" and
"emotional disability."
Concludes that such a child needs "needs special education and related services."
In quickly scanning VA. def's, I did not see "acute disability" or "emotionally disturbed."
Note within def of emo disabled----
"Emotional disability includes schizophrenia. The term does not apply to children who are socially maladjusted, unless it is determined that they have an emotional disability as defined in this section."
Now for your reading pleasure.
"Administrative Code" issued by VA "State Board of Education."*
"Chapter 81. Regulations Governing Special Education Programs for Children with Disabilities in Virginia"
"8VAC20-81-10. Definitions....
""Child with a disability" means a child evaluated in accordance with the provisions of this chapter as having an intellectual disability,...deafness,... blindness, a serious emotional disability (referred to in this part as "emotional disability"), an orthopedic impairment, autism, traumatic brain injury, an other health impairment, a specific learning disability,... who, by reason thereof, needs special education and related services....If it is determined through an appropriate evaluation that a child has one of the disabilities identified but only needs a related service and not special education, the child is not a child with a disability under this part. If the related service required by the child is considered special education rather than a related service under Virginia standards, the child would be determined to be a child with a disability. (§ 22.1-213 of the Code of Virginia; 34 CFR 300.8(a)(1) and 34 CFR 300.8(a)(2)(i) and (ii))."
And:
""Emotional disability" means a condition exhibiting one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree that adversely affects a child's educational performance: (34 CFR 300.8(c)(4))

4. A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression; or
