Pediatric School Psychology

Conceptualization, Applications, and Strategies for Leadership Development
Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Pediatric School Psychology addresses the critical need for school-based mental health professionals to understand the impact of paediatric health disorders on children’s academic, social, and emotional development. Rather than focusing on specific disorders, it explores practical topics such as enhancing adherence to treatment, promoting successful school reintegration, managing stress and pain, and improving quality of life. The book also covers prevention strategies, including multi-tiered programmes, evaluation of effectiveness, and sustainability planning. Unique to this text is its focus on leadership development within paediatric school psychology, with chapters on programme development, grant writing, and scholarly communication. An accompanying CD provides useful teaching tools and practical strategies for implementation in clinical and school settings.

In today’s schools, it is imperative that school-based mental health professionals be adequately trained in the knowledge and impact of paediatric health disorders on children’s academic, social, and emotional progress and performance. Pediatric School Psychology provides practitioners and researchers with the most relevant and up-to-date information concerning conceptual models and applications of intervention and prevention strategies in paediatric school psychology.

Rather than making specific disorders the book’s primary focus, the authors discuss practical topics such as improving adherence, promoting successful school reintegration, reducing stress and enhancing coping skills, improving pain management, and enhancing quality of life. Prevention strategies covered include developing multi-tiered programs, monitoring program effectiveness and quality of implementation, and programming for sustainability.

A unique feature of Pediatric School Psychology is its emphasis on developing leaders in paediatric school psychology, with chapters devoted to important topics including program development and evaluation, grant writing, and manuscript reviewing and preparation. An accompanying CD contains PowerPoint presentations and guidelines for practice to assist with lectures and describes strategies for application in clinical and school settings.
