Counselling Intervention

Adolescence is a critical stage of human development that needs special attention and direction. Psychologists identify this period as quarter-life transition due to the silent struggle and crisis many adolescents face in this crucial period. Identity creation is the major psychosocial task identified by Erikson and Marcia who made elaborate studies on adolescents. If proper guidance is not provided, adolescents struggle and wobble in their steady growth and identity creation. Influenced by peers, adolescents are confused and confronted by realities which are beyond their aptitude and interests. As career choice takes precedence in identity creation, identifying the aptitude and interests and, relating this to their vocational preference plays a major role. This case study elaborates the identity struggle and the role of vocational guidance and counselling intervention in helping an adolescent in his growth and development.

Reading Measures

The purpose of this study was to investigate informal phonological awareness measures as predictors of first-grade broad reading ability. Subjects were 91 former Head Start students who were administered standardized assessments of cognitive ability and receptive vocabulary, and informal phonological awareness measures during kindergarten and early first grade. Regression analyses indicated that three phonological awareness tasks, Invented Spelling, Categorization, and Blending, were the most predictive of standardized reading measures obtained at the end of first grade. Discriminant analyses indicated that these three phonological awareness tasks correctly identified at-risk students with 92% accuracy. Clinical use of a cutoff score for these measures is suggested, along with general intervention guidelines for practicing clinicians.
