Special care counseling
20 terms
I am in special care counseling, and we have a lot of word. I have been in this program for two years. My glossary is for all the special care counseling. I have 20 terms, and I used the book and internet to find all the words and the definitions. I hope that this glossary will help people in special care counseling when they need to speak in English.
