From the Paper:

"A service delivery model, behavioral consultation has been recipient to a lot of research based consideration (see Kratochwill & Bergan, 1990). Formalized, structured and an implicit type of service delivery is how it is described. Under the model over two people collaborate to define, assess, review and gain insights about the demands of the clients. The respective model revolves around four separately identifiable features. First, the problem resolving process it employs is standard. Secondly, it complies with the use of techniques that assess behaviors. Moreover, the strategies that are pursued are the ones that focus on behavioral intervention. Lastly, the assessment of results premises on an analysis of behaviors and of associated methods (as cited in Holcomb-McCoy and Bryan, 2010).
"CBC takes behavioral consultation further and integrates home and schools resources to encourage a child (who is the client) to adopt change. Being an implicit paradigm, it entails the collaboration of consultant, teachers and parents who come together and work alongside to deal with the multiple and various demands of the child, ranging from academic to behavioral and social (Holcomb-McCoy and Bryan, 2010)."
