Assignment 1:  Due Monday 9/23/19 

By using linear and nonlinear methods of listening, the counselor can respond in meaningful ways which can create a healthy therapeutic alliance. During the assessment, the client will often provide a wealth of information. It is the job of the counselor to listen in order to identify needs, resources, strengths and abilities. The counselor may pick up on gaps in the client’s story during the assessment. This is likely because the client will tell the conscious part of the story. However, we must also listen to what is NOT being said. 

Counselors must consider the unconscious part of the story during the assessment. One way for the counselor to do this is by being mindful of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES). How might recognizing ACES:

1) inform the counselor during the assessment?

2) guide goal development for the treatment episode?  

3) affect the clients  readiness to change?

Prepare a 7 min presentation. Use the first part of the model proposed by Schreck & Miller (2010), p. 310-311, to evaluate its scientific support. Specifically:

  1. Evaluate the theoretical/conceptual support of the treatment, if any. If there is no theoretical support, provide the following information: What is the rationale of this treatment? What are its underlying assumptions? Why does it claim to be effective? Provide the sources of this information (internet, personal communications, magazines, etc.)
  2. Describe the treatment techniques. What procedures are involved?
  3. Describe the treatment’s effects and provide scientific evidence of these effects: Find one article published in a peer-reviewed journal during the last 5 years, demonstrating treatment effectiveness. Briefly present their procedures and data. If no empirical articles are found, provide any information supporting its effectiveness. Discuss the validity and accuracy of this information.
  4. Does the treatment cause harm? Research if there have been reported cases of illnesses, or unplanned harmful side effects. Provide data if any.
  5. Based on the information provided, conclude and justify if you would recommend this treatment to a family.

This discussion is an opportunity for you to apply the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in the design of instruction and assessment. In essence, UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for all learners. To prepare for this discussion, in addition to reviewing the Required Resources for Week Three, view the CAST (2010) video UDL at a Glance (Links to an external site.)and the Week Three Instructor Guidance where additional assistance for excelling in this discussion and intellectual elaboration about UDL is provided.

Initial Post: Create an initial response that addresses the following areas.

  1. Provide      a succinct summary, in your own words, of the key concepts that make up      UDL.
  2. Discuss      how UDL and the incorporation of technology can be used to individualize      learning for students with varied backgrounds, learning styles, and      abilities and thereby create increased opportunities for learning.
  3. Discuss      the impact that using UDL may have on your current or anticipated teaching      or professional role.
  4. Share an idea; including what you learned to inform your      initial response to this discussion, how might you include what you’ve      learned about UDL in your plan for the Week Six Final Project: Community      Event?
