Therapy plan

Overview

The final project for this course is the creation of a therapy plan. Students will select a case study and design a therapy plan using one of the theoretical orientations covered in the course. The final product represents an authentic demonstration competency because students will be able to apply their counseling knowledge in a real-world manner. The project is divided in to three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions
