Abstract
This paper considers the consultation process applied to consulting with individuals working with youngsters classified as handicapped. Research related to various stages of the consultation process is reviewed in an effort to identify reactive variables that school consultants should consider in case problem solving, in establishing and maintaining effective consultant-consultee relationships, and in evaluating consultation outcomes. Research on this topic, while limited, has revealed some important findings. Among these are studies pertaining to interpersonal variables, relationship building, managing consultee resistance, and use of feedback to consultees. These results are discussed and framed in relation to recommendations for future research.
