Facilitators and Pitfalls in the Use of Consultation Strategies: Prospective Special Educators’ Self-Reflections on Audio-Recorded Consultation Sessions

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to explore how prospective special educators (PSEs) used and experienced different types of consultation skills in consultation sessions they held with general educators. The participants were 17 PSEs in Finland attending a course in which problem-solving stages and communication skills were taught. The PSEs’ self-reflections on the audio-recorded consultation sessions were analyzed using an interpretative hermeneutical approach with qualitative content analysis. The strategies they used can be described as creating frames and clarity, applying reflective listening, offering keys and lifelines, and supporting the change. The results concerning facilitators indicated that the PSEs found both problem-solving stages and communication skills useful. Several pitfalls indicated that although the PSEs were aware of the consultation skills, they were still unable to apply them flexibly. The results indicated that self-reflection can be used as a tool in PSEs’ consultation training, but as a complement, more supervised consultation training is also needed.

Applying Motivational Interviewing to School-Based Consultation: A Commentary on “Has Consultation Achieved Its Primary Prevention Potential?,” an article by Joseph E. Zins

Despite a decade of advances since Zins' 1995 article on prevention, much work lies ahead to make prevention everyday consultation activities for school psychologists. To foster prevention efforts, this commentary discusses how motivational interviewing in school-based consultation (a) might peak consultees' initial interest in change, and (b) address barriers to successfully implementing and maintaining change plans.     

Collaborative Consultation With Families of Children With Special Needs: Why Bother?

The increased participation by parents of children with special needs in the development and implementation of educational and treatment programs has created opportunities for collaborative contacts among the involved professionals and the parents. Professionals can assume a collaborative consultation orientation that can serve to empower parents who in turn are likely to remain lifelong support systems for their children. In this article, we examine the parameters of collaborative consultation in conjunction with the need to develop a family orientation within the consultative process.
