Which of the following is not included in responsive services?

• A. Consultation
• B. Collaboration
• C. Personal counseling
• D. Crisis counseling

Answer: (B)

Responsive services are immediate interventions aimed at helping students with their current concerns. Personal counseling and crisis counseling are direct forms of help provided to students in need. Consultation is also part of responsive services because it involves the counselor working with teachers or parents to support the student. Collaboration, on the other hand, is primarily about coordinating with other professionals and resources to plan and implement programs, which is not a direct responsive service. Therefore, collaboration is not included.
