School Counseling in Arlington Public Schools

Arlington Public Schools (APS) serves approximately 28,000 students across 23 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 3 high schools plus alternative programs. School counselors in APS support a remarkably diverse student body — over 100 languages are spoken across the district, and more than 30% of students are English learners. Arlington counselors navigate academic pressure in one of Virginia's highest-performing districts while addressing social-emotional needs of students from military families, immigrant communities, and families experiencing housing instability in an increasingly expensive county.

Beast Putty in Arlington School Counseling

School counselors in Arlington use tactile tools like Beast Putty to help students self-regulate during individual and small-group counseling sessions. The putty provides a calming physical outlet for anxious students while they process academic stress, social conflicts, or family challenges. During classroom guidance lessons on emotional regulation, counselors use the putty as a concrete example of a healthy coping strategy — teaching students to notice tension in their hands and redirect it into purposeful manipulation rather than disruptive behavior.

Supporting Arlington's Diverse Student Needs

Arlington's counselors work with students navigating cultural adjustment, language barriers, and the unique stressors of growing up in a high-cost, high-achievement community. For students with limited English proficiency, tactile tools provide a communication bridge during counseling sessions where verbal expression is challenging. Military-connected students in Arlington schools experience frequent moves and deployment-related anxiety — the putty offers a portable self-regulation tool that travels with the student between schools. The district's commitment to inclusive education means counselors also support students with IEPs who benefit from sensory input throughout the school day.
