Abstract
Pediatric patients and their families often use results of a neuropsychological evaluation to seek services in school settings. A complaint of schools is that pediatric neuropsychological assessments are not readily useful or user-friendly for educational purposes. This article will provide suggestions about how pediatric neuropsychologists can integrate principles of school-based psychological consultation models to collaborate across disciplines and communicate their assessment findings to school professionals in a way that may allow them to more readily integrate recommendations. The goal is to help pediatric neuropsychologists incorporate practices of effective school-based consultation, which ultimately can help neuropsychologists better influence educational decisions related to their patients. This article will outline the barriers to effective consultation, describe principles of psychological consultation in school settings, and illustrate the ideas with three case examples.
