A distinctive and clear guide for school consultants wishing to learn community collaboration with the help of learning tools, case studies, and resources.

The text discusses scientifically based practices for consulting on academic and behavior problems, including methods for assessing and supporting intervention integrity. In addition, the application of current research is now illustrated in a number of case studies throughout this text. As always, this unique text continues to provide ample activities and examples for students and practitioners alike regarding practicing effective and collaborative school consultation in a variety of educational environments.

This is an excellent resource for professionals in the field of Special Education. It elaborates on the role of the consultant and consulted in problem-solving of behavioral and academic problems, and it details good and not-so-good communication in these relationships. Finally, it gives a solid understanding of how response to intervention (RtI) and positive behavior support (PBS) models can be utilized to meet the needs of students with these behavior or academic issues.

I figured after a couple of years in the field, this would be a good time to refresh/review my collaborative skills.
