Ecobehavioral Consultation in Schools is a practical, theory-based text that advances the practice of ecobehavioral consultation (EBC) and teaches consultants how to develop their own successful practice. It includes examples of what the consultant could say at each step of the process, over 30 easy-to-use forms, and more than 60 interventions available for download on the book’s website. In addition, the explication of EBC theory helps the reader to better understand the "big picture" of each problem, going well beyond a strict behavioral approach to understand family, social, cultural, historical, and internal influences. Ecobehavioral Consultation in Schools is the perfect companion for students in consultation-training programs such as special education, school psychology, school counseling, school social work, or for any other school professional interested in working collaboratively with teachers and parents.
