Consultation Models - School Psychology Praxis

Front 1

What is the focus of Caplan's mental health consultation?

Back 1

A preventative approach for dealing with mental disorders.

Front 2

Give the three assumptions of Caplan's mental health consultation.

Back 2

1. Both intrapsychic and environmental factors are important in changing and explaining behaviour
2. Consultees are responsible for action because in Caplan's view the direct involvement of consultants in problem resolution diminishes the feelings of ownership over problems and solutions
3. Consultee attitudes and feelings are important but cannot be dealt with directly (need to use a displacement object)

Front 3

Name the four types of Caplans' mental health consultation.

Back 3

Client-centered case consultation, Consultee-centered case consultation, program-centred consultation, consultee-centered administrative consultation

Front 4

Name the usual consultee and usual client in client-centered consultation.

Back 4

teacher; student

Front 5

What is the focus of client-centered consultation?

Back 5

the primary goal is to advise the consultee (teacher) regarding treatment and develop a plan to deal with the client (student).

Front 6

In client-centered consultation, whose role is it to implement the consultant recommendations?

Back 6

the consultee (teacher)

Front 7

Who is the focus of consultee-centered consultation and who is that?

Back 7

the consultee; usually the teacher

Front 8

What is the primary goal of constultee-centered consultation? What is the secondary goal?

Back 8

to remediate the shortcomings in the consultee's (teachers) professional functioning that are responsible for difficulties; client improvement

Front 9

Give four sources of consultee difficulty.

Back 9

1. lack of knowledge
2. lack of skill
3. lack of confidence
4. lack of objectivity

Front 10

What is the focus of program-centered consultation?

Back 10

the problems surrounding the development of a new program or some aspect of organizational functioning

Front 11

How is the consultant viewed in client-centered and program-centered consultation?

Back 11

As an expert who is called in to provide recommendations.

Front 12

What is the goal of consultee-centered administrative consultation?

Back 12

to improve the professional functioning of members of an administrative staff

Front 13

Give one model of behaivoural-operant consultation?

Back 13

Bergan and Kratchowill's Problem Solving model

Front 14

What is the focus of behavioural-operant model of consultation?

Back 14

changing behaviours

Front 15

How do behavioural-operant models of consultation define consultation?

Back 15

an indirect, problem-solving service involving a collegial relationship between the consultant and consultee in which the consultant acquires and communicates psychological data that will enable the consultee to utilize the data

Front 16

How is the consultant viewed in behavioural-operant models of consultation?

Back 16

an authority figures who assumes primary responsibility for the consulting relationship

Front 17

Give the three primary goals of behavioural-operant models of consultation.

Back 17

1. Change the client's behaviour
2. Change the consultee's behaviour
3. Produce changes in the organization

Front 18

Give the four steps in Bergan and Katchowill's model of consultation

Back 18

1. Problem Identification
2. Problem Analysis
3. Plan Implementation
4. Problem Evaluation

Front 19

Give the five components of the Problem Identification step of Bergan and Katchowill's problem solving model of consultation

Back 19

1. define the replacement behaviour (target skill) that needs improvement
2. Determine the current level of performance
3. Determine the expected level of performance
4. Determine peer levels of performance
5. Conduct a gap analysis to determine if Tier 1 instruction or the target student should be the focus of the problem analysis

Front 20

Give the two components of the Problem Analysis step of Bergan and Katchowill's problem solving model of consultation

Back 20

1. determine if the absence of the replacement behaviour is due to skill deficit or performance deficit.
2. develop and confirm/reject hypotheses that explain the reasons for the absence of the replacement behaviour

Front 21

What does RIOTS stand for?

Back 21

Record reviews
Interviews
Observations
Test (assessment)
Self-monitoring procedures

Front 22

When is RIOTS used in Bergan and Katchowill's problem solving model of consultation?

Back 22

During the data collection phase, which happens during the confirmation/rejection of hypotheses to explain the absence of the replacement behaviours (component 2) in the Problem Analysis step (step 2).

Front 23

in Bergan and Katchowill's problem solving model of consultation, how are the interventions in step 3, Plan Implementation decided upon?

Back 23

They flow directly from the hypothesis generated in step 2 (Problem Analysis). Intervention plans should be developed and implemented for as many of the confirmed hypotheses as possible

Front 24

What are the two parts of the hypothesis statements for the Problem Analysis step of Bergan and Katchowill's problem solving model of consultation?

Back 24

1. a prediction statment which tells individual what would be expected to happen if the hypothesis is valid (using if/then or when/then format)
2. a converse statement which is the opposite and needs to be considered

Front 25

What is the format of the hypothesis statement for the Problem Analysis step of Bergan and Katchowill's problem solving model of consultation?

Back 25

Student is unable to (replacement behaviour) because (hypothesis).

Front 26

What factors should be considered when generating hypothesis statements for the Problem Analysis step of Bergan and Katchowill's problem solving model of consultation?

Back 26

1. student factors
2. teacher factors
3. peer factors
4. curriculum factors
5. classroom factors
6. family or community factors

Front 27

According Bergan and Katchowill's problem solving model of consultation, In what stage is data collected about the intervention plan

Back 27

Step 4, Program Evaluation

Front 28

In Step 4 of Bergan and Katchowill's problem solving model of consultation, Program Evaluation, what assessment data should be used to measure the impact of the intervention on student behaviour?

Back 28

The same type of data that was used in the problem identification and problem analysis steps.

Front 29

What type of consultation is Instructional Consultation?

Back 29

Consultee-centered consultation (Caplan's mental health consultation)

Front 30

What is the main focus of Instructional Consultation?

Back 30

Enhancing the academic achievement of students

Front 31

Give the three elements of Instructional Consultation.

2. communication and relationship skills
3. use of evidence-based assessment and intervention strategies

Back 32

1. The consultant and the consultee construct and resolve the problem through their interaction

Front 33
