Description

This interactive lapbook is a great way to start and end individual counseling sessions. It gives you a quick idea of how the student is doing when they come in and where their head's at when they leave. This tool is something that can be used with each session with students - consistency in counseling sessions can be very therapeutic! Structured sessions are also aligned with cognitive behavioral theory and solution focused theory.

The lapbook allows the student to identify how they are currently feeling, how they felt since your last session, how they view school/home/friends, and what they want to talk about. When they check out, students identify if they're feeling better, a positive self-affirmation to remember, and how they want to say goodbye. Velcro pieces, sliders, and clips allow for the student to respond visually and physically to the prompts.

Spanish version now also included!

Here's what you'll find inside:

  • Printing and assembly directions
  • All the pages needed for the lapbook
  • Digital (Google Slides TM) version

Additional supplies needed: file folder, 4 paperclips, glue, velcro dots, and a clothespin or binder clip).

You can do this “live” with students – video chatting with them and screen sharing. Or, you can send it to them to work on independently (all they need is a Google account).

I love that there is a hands on options as a lap book for the check in and out of individual counseling sessions. I have also found though that the printable sheets are wonderful to use too. I keep a stack of printed ones and students enjoy using that tool just as much. It keeps our weekly check in and outs consistent and predictable. I can't see myself NOT using this in my counseling career moving forward.

This activity is probably one that I use more than anything else I've ever purchased on TPT. (And I've purchased a lot). Such an amazing resource that is quick, fun and really helps the kiddos check in with themselves (and me). Can't say enough good things about this resource and this store!

This was a great resource for when I was lead teacher - it allowed me to provide students breaks when needed but giving structure so it didn't turn into an "extra recess" every time. I'm not a counselor, but I can see how this would be a great resource for that!!
