Abstract
This cross-sectional quantitative study compares primary and secondary counselors’ attitudes and theoretical orientation for evidence-based practices for military-connected students with disruptive behaviors receiving Response to Intervention and Section 504 services in Texas. This study is paramount for military-connected students with disruptive behaviors in closing gaps in academic performance, social-emotional skills, social justice, and multiculturalism in education. Military-connected students with disruptive behaviors confront the risk of not receiving evidence-based interventions through school services due to school counselors’ practices and theoretical approach. The researcher used a quantitative cross-sectional method and three analyses: Pearson r correlation, Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), ANOVA, and t-test for three research questions using SurveyMonkey questionnaire containing two instruments and demographic questions. The sample size was 122 certified school counselors to measure school counselors’ perceptive and theoretical orientation as dependent variables and demographic information as independent variables. Furthermore, other areas of research will become recommendations for research.
