Discuss the role of school based helpers who adopt a CBT orientation.
-School-based helpers who adopt a CBT orientation, have been described as coaches who act as consultant/collaborators, diagnosticians, and educators.
- As a "consultant/collaborator," the helper adopts the stance of one who does not have all the answers.Rather, a school-based helper presents ideas about things to try and creates opportunities for the student client to do so.Together, the helper and student use a problem-solving model to determine the best approach to reaching the student's goals.
-Kendall also described helpers as diagnosticians because they used their knowledge and experience to identify concerns.Sometimes children are referred to school-based helpers with a vague description such as, "This student seems depressed" or "I can't work with the child because his behavior is so out there.I'm sure he has ADHD." Because of your role in the school, you are able to make observations and gather more information from parents and teachers that answer questions such as: Is this child's behavior appropriate for his age? Does her behavior seem different from other students in her class? What is school like for this student? Through these processes, school helpers engage in a process of "figuring out" whether the presenting concern is accurate and complete.
-As an "educator," a helper considers the strategies that will best help a student learn new thoughts and behaviors.That may mean that the helper teaches these new skills, but she will also encourage students to think for themselves.The professional helper will want to consider the best strategies for communicating new information.Most importantly, the helper as educator observes the student perform the new behaviors and provides feedback (as a consultant).
