Description

"An excellent resource for anyone who supports students with disabilities. This complex subject is made practical and the TREAT model provides a great outline for solutions. I recommend this book as a road map to help students make successful transitions from grade to grade and beyond."

  • Guidelines for designing services collaboratively with other school staff and parents
  • Strategies for integrating the needs of individual students in comprehensive school counseling programs

The book′s concluding chapters offer countless strategies for working with families of students with special needs, as well as suggestions for connecting professional school counseling practice with advocacy and systemic change. All school counselors feeling the weight of accountability will welcome this guide to help them meet the needs of students with disabilities proactively with enthusiasm, hope, and a renewed sense of competence.
