Case study of ADHD- group session
Consider the following scenario:
You are a counselor who is developing a crisis group for Middle
School girls and boys ages 12-14. You know that one group member has a
diagnosis of ADHD and one has another disability (chose one from the list of
categories defined by the National Dissemination Center for Children with
Disabilities, in Counseling Children, on pages 696 to 699).
Review page 714 of Counseling Children to help you answer
the following questions in your initial post:
What legal and ethical responsibilities do you have with
respect to the young clients with disabilities?
What goals would you have for a first session for your
group?
What therapeutic approaches or methods will you use to
achieve these goals?
How will you modify your approach so that the two clients
with exceptionalities receive differentiated supportive intervention and benefit
from the group as much as the other young people?
