Many children and youth experience significant health problems that have a marked effect on their academic performance and/or social functioning and that place them at-risk for more serious deleterious outcomes. Leaders in both the public and private sectors have sounded a call for the development of health promotion programs that reduce the need for expensive medical interventions. There is an emerging consensus that comprehensive school health programming in full-service schools can be a cost-effective method of addressing the growing health and social problems of youth and preventing the emergence of unhealthy patterns of behavior. To partially meet this need, the doctoral school psychology program has developed a Health/Pediatric subspecialization for students interested in developing additional competencies beyond those already identified within the existing program. The overall objective of this subspecialization is to develop school psychologists as leaders in the research and practice of meeting the educational needs of children with health concerns. At the core of preparing pediatric school psychologists are competencies for linking salient systems in promoting children’s educational success, including families, schools, healthcare providers and communities. The program aims to develop truly integrated professionals who are capable of practicing within both schools and health care settings to provide integrated services for students.
