Collaborative Consultation in the Schools is the only text to explain how to successfully collaborate with a range of professionals, students, and families in a school setting. The revised fourth edition has a new focus on problem-solving collaboration and places these activities within a larger Response-to-Intervention service delivery model. 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.
