Establishing Educational Relevance
School-based counseling services are designed to enhance social relations and support academic achievement and learning. Therefore, counseling issues addressed by school-based clinicians are those impacting the student’s educational functioning and performance. WCSEA school-based clinicians assist in addressing problems that affect school functioning. Not every student with a presenting problem is appropriately served by a WCSEA school-based clinician. Problems that affect the child but have no adverse effect on the child during school are best addressed by outside agencies and/or outside providers (ISBE May 2007, Student Services Providers Recommended Practices & Procedures Manual). School-based counselors will make outside referrals for students with counseling needs better served by community-based clinical counseling or family therapy. School-based clinicians are available for consultation with school staff regarding services and interventions that might be appropriate. School-based counseling services are not intended for use in a custody decision. When educational relevance is not established, but social-emotional services may be warranted, school-based clinicians will refer students and families to community-based services.
