Preferred term

behavioral consultation  

Definition

  • Behavioral consultation (BC), most commonly associated with John Bergan and Thomas Kratochwill, is an indirect service provided to a client (e.g., child, parent, teacher, patient) by a consultant who works directly with a consultee (e.g., parent, teacher, administrator, medical doctor) to define a problem and develop and evaluate an intervention. The consultee then provides direct services to the client.Because BC is based upon behavioral theory and procedures that have been effective in teaching new skills and reducing learning and behavior problems, it has become particularly popular in school settings.
