Are School Counselors Sufficiently Prepared to Serve Students with Disabilities?
Alvarez, Jenna M.; Bhat, Christine Suniti; Landmark, Leena J.
Journal of School Counseling, v18 n19 2020
The purpose of this qualitative exploratory single-case study was to examine how school counselors from a master's level counselor education program are trained to work with PreK-12 students with disabilities. Transcripts from semi-structured interviews with nine school counselors-in-training and course syllabi were analyzed using embedded analysis and pattern matching analysis techniques. A key finding was that school counselor trainees drew on prior knowledge and experiences rather than education to work with PreK-12 students with disabilities. Recommendations for school counselor training focused on better serving PreK-12 students with disabilities are provided.
