    Solution-Focused brief therapy (SFBT) would be an effective theory to use as a school counselor because it can be used in a short amount of time, focuses on the positive, uses strengths that students already possess, and focuses on finding solutions and coming up with goals to solve students’ problems (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). School counselors are often faced with many tasks to complete, thus, using a counseling theory that is successful in a short amount of counseling sessions would be beneficial for school counselors as well as students.

    The biggest hurdle to accomplishing this feat is time. With so much training, lesson plan development and so on, setting aside time to meet with parents of EBD children seems like a daunting task. Especially if an educator limits themselves to only their “on the job” hours. Although that mindset is just horrible, as a mentor to countless students, one is never “off the job”. There is nothing wrong with quick correspondence, emails or a phone call, to get some quick information or ideas on how to redirect or divert an unwanted behavior or action.…

    As an elementary school counselor some of the approaches I would use include solution-focused therapy and play therapy. However, I would also use other strategies or theories in order to fit the needs of the student or situation. Solution-focused therapy can be very beneficial for a school counselor because it provides supportive services to students in a short amount of time (Dollarhide & Saginak, 2012). School counselors often have more than the recommended student to counselor ratio and have many tasks put on them that make it difficult to provide the students with the needed amount of direct services (American School Counselor Association, 2012). Therefore, solution-focused therapy is useful because it can provide brief counseling that…

    The following Antecedent-Behavior-Consequences (ABC) Chart has been prepared for Jackson K. Direct observation was done during his Integrated Algebra 1A class to complete the ABC chart. The purpose was to identify “environmental and contextual variables that support challenging behavior” (Chandler and Dahlquist, 70). There are some consequences that are often related to appropriate and challenging behaviors, some desirable and others not. Unfortunately, oftentimes students that engage in challenging behaviors are removed from the learning environment. This is not helpful because the function of this behavior is avoidance and so the behavior is successful from the student’s perspective.…
