Services
Individual Counseling
Counselor receives referrals from principal, teachers, parents, and mostly the students themselves to meet with Miss Kara. I am a huge advocate of" paralanguage." Is what this child is telling me congruent with his body language, tone of voice, or facial expressions? The tone of voice you use with a student, or any person, is crucial in developing a trusting relationship with that student.
