Group work is a commonly used method within  school settings. Because peer interaction is important in the emotional  and social development of children, the task group can serve as a  wonderful therapeutic setting and tool; however, many factors should be  considered when implementing this type of intervention.

For this Discussion, read the Van Velsor (2009) article. Attached

Post your understanding of task  groups as an intervention for children. Use the model for effective  problem solving to compare and contrast (how to identify the problem,  develop goals, collect data). How does this model differ from a  traditional treatment group? What are the advantages and possible  disadvantages of this model? Describe how you might use this model for  adults. What populations would most benefit from this model?
