Summary

School-aged children are often faced with personal problems that can hinder their ability to succeed in the school environment. This Homework Planner provides homework assignments that focus on school-related problems such as study and organizational skill deficits and academic motivation/underachievement, as well as "outside" issues such as blended families, divorce, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and parenting skill deficits. This new edition contains over 70 ready-to-copy exercises covering the most common issues encountered in a school setting. An accompanying CD-ROM allows clinicians to tailor all workbook exercises for any given situation or problem.
