Examines the effectiveness of solutions-focused therapy with children in a school setting using AB single-case designs. The research team provided 5 to 10 sessions of solution-focused therapy services to seven children who were referred with learning disabilities and classroom behaviourial problems. Data from Conners Teacher Rating Scales were analyzed using visual analysis of the data in relationship to clinical change scores, effect sizes, and improved percentage scores. Results indicate that solution-focused therapy was followed by positive changes on a range of behaviourial problems. Concludes that solution-focused therapy shows promise for helping special education students with their academic difficulties and classroom behaviours.
