The School Counseling and School Social Work Treatment Planner

School-aged children (grades K - 12) are often faced with personal problems that can hinder their ability to succeed in the school environment. This Treatment Planner focuses on school-related problems such as study and organizational skill deficits and academic motivation/underachievement, as well as "outside" issues such as blended families and substance abuse. This new edition features empirically supported, evidence-based treatment interventions including coverage of disruptive classroom behaviors, reinforcing student success, bullying, peer conflict, and school violence. School and mental health professionals are provided with all the elements necessary to quickly and easily develop formal treatment plans that satisfy the demands of HMOs, managed care companies, third-party payors, and state and federal review agencies.
