Students Living with Chronic Illness: The School Counselor's Role
Hamlet, Helen S.; Gergar, Patricia G.; Schaefer, Barbara A.
Professional School Counseling, v14 n3 p202-210 Feb 2011
To investigate the current practices of schools and school counselors working with students with chronic illness and the protocols for providing these services, the authors conducted a mixed design, grounded theory study, with an eye toward pinpointing any trends or patterns in service provision. They identified a collaborative, developmental, multisystemic model for working with these students. This article also discusses counselors' recommendations on how to improve the responsive service delivery process. (Contains 1 table.)
