Description
This book provides a user-friendly reference for school counsellors in dealing with the demands of their work, especially on their work with special-needs students. Most counsellors preparation programmes simply cannot include more than a quick overview of the laws and a basic unit on goals and objectives when it comes to working with students with disabilities. This book fills that gap, and gives more background on the mandates, and offers many more practical resources. It gives counsellors clear directions for understanding their roles and responsibilities with children who have disabilities, as well as tools that will help them succeed in their work.

"This is one book I will buy for counselors in my school this year. It clearly addresses legal concerns in regard to students with disabilities without losing its focus on children." -- Kareen Skillestad-Bangert, Wyoming's National Distinguished Principal - 1998More details
