Janson, Chris; Miller, Lynne Guillot; Rainey, Steve
Journal of Special Education Leadership, v20 n2 p73-83 Sep 2007
This study investigated the attitudes of school counseling students toward working with students with disabilities. Q methodology was used to develop 43 opinion statements that reflected the attitudes toward providing school counseling services to students with disabilities. Fifty-one school counseling students then sorted these statements. Data analysis identified three types of attitudes toward working with students with disabilities: advocate for systemic change, promoter of social and emotional well-being, and uncertain self-focuser. Implications for how special education administrators and educators might work with preservice and in-service school counselors were explored. (Contains 1 figure.)
