Students become familiar with the ways of adapting appropriate interventions within the local culture e.g., play therapy and token economy with children, and the use of cognitive and emotional therapies with adolescents. In addition, this course will examine the basic developmental issues from infancy to adolescence that under-gird counseling practice. Typical psychosocial tasks are explored, with special consideration for counseling in a school context. *Currently frozen EDU887 Counseling Practicum [3-0, 3 cr.] * This course is a semester of supervised counseling practice in a school setting, consistent with the student’s professional goals.
