Abstract
This study explores English Learner's perceptions and utilization of school counseling services. 180 students enrolled in the English Learner program at a regional vocational high school in a suburban town in Massachusetts responded to a 15 question survey based off of the BEATS: Barriers, Experiences, and Attitudes Toward School Counseling Survey (Auger et al., 2018). The findings identify the most and least utilized services and students' perceptions of their effectiveness. Additionally, the results can help school personnel address gaps in counseling support and potential barriers to access.
