Research on Counselor and Client Safety COUN5252- Crisis Assessment and Intervention Abstract Within a therapeutic relationship, both counselor and client safety are crucial to success.

• A review of the barriers to participation faced by carers and ways they can be overcome.

Cantwell (1996) explained that these behaviours may cause significant impairment and interference in numerous areas of a child’s normal development. Furthermore, according to Tutorial letter 101 for PSY481U (2010) children with ADHD also have a consequential impact on the lives of those surrounding the child.

This could lead to conflict between the individual’s family / carers if staff involved other agencies such as Social Services. Dilemmas could be knowing when to get further help regarding child/adult protection and safeguarding issues for example if you did not refer the case to social services the individual might still continue to suffer abuse.

Separation anxiety can be excessive crying when the parent leaves, throwing tantrums and are unable to calm down, or refusing to complete the work or participate in class. When a child is having separation anxiety, the best strategy, is to have them help you come up with a plan, so that they have a hand in deciding what the best course of action is. Furthermore, they know what to do when they start to feel the anxiety start to happen. You could have a classroom parent board, in which students and parents can communicate with each other. When the child starts to feel the anxiety, they can walk over to the board and read a message from their parents.

Whole School Approaches to Supporting Student Behaviour Teena Skelton Educators in the 21st century face increased challenges given the widening diversity of students in schools. There is the ever increasing complexity of students who may have behaviour problems, communication disorders, autism or a range of other disabilities with which comes growing legal obligations for teachers and schools (New South Wales Department of Education and Communities, 2012 a). In the United States of America (USA) teachers are reporting that ‘uncivil’ behaviour is increasing and is a real threat to effective teaching (Skiba and Peterson, 2000). Research has also reported that a link exists between general level of disruptive behaviour and more extreme acts of violence (Skiba et al 2000). In Australia research by Vinson (2002) identified that non-compliance and defiance are significant issues in schools, and pose a major challenge to teachers.
Teachers utilize diverse procedures to control unacceptable behaviors in the classroom Lewis, Romi, Qui and Katz (2005). At the same time, however teachers endeavor to make the classroom contribute to a favorable learning environment for the students. For example using corporal punishment like caning, sending the child out of class for misbehaving, or to the disciplinarian office, or calling their parents is actually harming them as they are not able benefit from it. Classroom management has mostly been seen by teachers as something that is not simple to compromise in education. Sanford and Evertson (1981) have similarly argued that classroom management is a major difficulty for “teachers and administrators in junior high schools” (p. 34).
