Preparing Preservice School Counselors to Serve Students With Disabilities: A Case Study

Abstract

Using a case study, researchers examined how preservice school counselors experienced course content and activities related to students with disabilities. Course content, activities, and pedagogical strategies were based on recommendations from counselor education scholars and Bandura’s model of self-efficacy. Aligned with case study research (Yin), researchers gathered and triangulated both quantitative and qualitative data, which revealed that participants reported an overarching positive experience, gaining knowledge and confidence and appreciating practical experiences regarding course content and activities specific to students with disabilities.
