Collaborative Consultation in the Schools: Effective Practices for Students with Learning and Behavior Problems

Designed for courses in special education and school psychology, this book teaches readers to implement a school-based collaborative model for working with students with learning and behavior problems in an inclusive setting. Consultation is presented in this book as a collaborative, problem-solving endeavor designed to assist consultants in their work with students who have, or are at-risk for school adjustment and/or learning problems. This text differs in two major ways from others that are devoted to school based consultation: 1) includes five extended cases studies and 2) devotes separate chapters to learning and behavior problems of students.
