Consultation Research: The Time has Come, The Walrus Said

Comprehensive School Counseling Programs: A Review for Policymakers and Practitioners

“…Empirical support for consultation interventions has been summarized in several reviews of the research (e.g., Bundy & Poppen, 1986;Conoley & Conoley, 1981;Meade, Hamilton, & Yuen, 1982;Medway, 1982). These reviews indicated that consultation with teachers, parents, or both led to improvements in students' academic achievement scores, grades, attention, classroom behaviors, motivation, and self-concept.…”

Consultation articles with titles like On the Verge of a Breakthrough (Bardon, 1985) and The Time has Come the Walrus Said (Meade et al, 1982) foresaw new advancements in consultation practice and research.…”

“…Consultation articles with titles like On the Verge of a Breakthrough (Bardon, 1985) and The Time has Come the Walrus Said (Meade et al, 1982) foresaw new advancements in consultation practice and research. A clear description of practice and new conceptualizations of consultation processes across different perspectives and different settings were needed to facilitate coordinated consultation research.…”

The Effect of Behavioral Consultation on Educational Recommendations: A Single Case Experimental Design

“…These include: (a) measuring multiple outcomes (Pryzwansky, 1986), and (b) defining explicitly what took place to enhance replication (Meade, Hamilton, & Ka-Wai Yuen, 1982). Case studies and single case experimental designs (e.g., multiple baseline designs) have been recommended as ways of providing valid, interpretable comparisons (Hersen & Barlow, 1984;Gresham & Kendell, 1987).…”
