Improving Outcomes for Children with Developmental Disabilities through Enhanced Communication and Collaboration between School Psychologists and Physicians
Ritzema, Anne M.; Sladeczek, Ingrid E.; Ghosh, Shuvo; Karagiannakis, Anastasia; Manay-Quian, Natalia
Canadian Journal of School Psychology, v29 n4 p317-337 Dec 2014
A renewed call for enhanced communication and collaboration between school psychology and medicine is envisioned, in light of a transdisciplinary model, where school psychologists, family physicians, and other health professionals transcend disciplinary boundaries. Recommendations for optimal communication and collaboration are described, as well as challenges inherent in such an endeavor. School psychologist--physician collaboration has the potential to result in significant improvements in outcomes for families and children with developmental disabilities. A case illustration highlights the major points mirrored in the discussion, and conclusions are drawn regarding necessary components for meaningful change to occur.
