Abstract	:	The purpose of this action research study was to investigate the effectiveness of physical activity breaks as an intervention for supporting the academic and social-emotional growth of students with emotional and behavioral disabilities. The participants of the study included six students with emotional and behavioral disabilities within the second and third grade. Two of the participants also had a second diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. The results of the study indicated that the physical activity break intervention was effective in decreasing the frequency of negative behaviors displayed by the students and increasing their time spent on-task during instruction. However, the study indicated mixed results regarding the increase in positive feelings exhibited by the participants related to their learning.
