This chapter provides a groundwork for school counselors. It amplifies their roles and responsibilities to neglected children and also discusses the issues that should be considered in the assessment and treatment of neglected children and their families. The chapter provides professional guides to therapists who specialize in the treatment of neglected children and school counselors who meet with the neglected children occasionally. The methodology adopted for the assessment and treatment of neglect in this chapter is child-centered, family-focused, and culturally receptive. The author posits that dealing with child neglect will be more effective when school counselors leave the four walls of the school to provide support for neglect children and thus integrating them into the school system.

School systems are increasingly diverse communities, with a broadening diversity of students and staff alike. School counselors play a critical role in creating a welcoming school climate within the school community. As a catalyst for change within the school system, school counselors can create an effective community partnership culture for schools and families that is collaborative and welcoming for all. This article will discuss the importance of creating a collaborative school climate for linguistically diverse students (LDS) in order to promote their overall well-being and school achievement. With this objective in mind, a review of the literature on school counselor’s leadership role within the school community will be discussed, before embarking on an investigation into the effectiveness of counselors as agents of systemic change in facilitating engagement. A discussion of school counselors’ role in creating a welcoming school climate towards LDS within the school and school community could pave the way for a more positive organizational culture. Using a systemic approach, which aims to generate greater understanding and awareness, school counselors have the power to play a critical role in the transformation of the school system, especially for students from diverse backgrounds (Aydin, 2011; McCall-Perez, 2000; Schwallie-Giddis, Anstrom, Sanchez, Sardi, & Granato, 2004).

This qualitative study examined the roles and responsibilities of educational assistants from their own perspectives. Five educational assistants kept written journals and each participant was interviewed once. Findings were interpreted through a critical lens which allowed an examination of the relationships within the hierarchical power structure of the school system and where the educational assistants were situated. A grounded theory approach explained the factors which influenced the perspectives of the participants on being an educational assistant in an Ontario classroom. These factors were identified and organized in five major categories: 1) roles and responsibilities, 2) relationships, 3) communication, 4) changes, and 5) training. The interrelationships between these categories highlighted the complex nature of the role of the educational assistant. This study concluded that relationships and communication had a major influence on the perspectives of the educational assistants.

Child neglect is a phenomenon that often occurs in society which means that adults fail to take responsibility for providing various needs or adequate needs for the child. This can be seen from the needs such as clothing, food, shelter, education to the health of the child himself. This study aims to examine the legal protection of children who are victims of neglect and uncover criminal sanctions against perpetrators of neglect of children. This study uses a normative method considering that there is still a lack of legal norms, with a legislative approach. The data sources used are primary and secondary data obtained through library or recording techniques. After the data is collected, it is then processed descriptively qualitatively. Legal protection for neglected children is a right for every citizen, especially children, which can be divided into preventive and repressive protection. Law Number 35 of 2014, regulates various matters relating to the protection of children about what is prohibited until the sanctions in Article 76B contain that all forms of exploitation such as neglect and involving children in bad or wrong conditions can be subject to the threat of punishment as stated in Article 77B sentenced to imprisonment for 5 years or a fine of up to IDR 100,000,000.

This study reveals school counselors’ perspectives on using physical activity and a consultative process with coaches to provide school-based support for youth. Emerging from this exploration are ways that school-based physical activity might be used to help students develop life skills and to remove barriers to systemic integration of socioemotional development through physical activity into the school system. Practical implications focus on system-based change and collaborative opportunities using the ASCA National Model.
