title: Medical and educational literature on physician/teacher collaboration.
abstract: Recent changes in the education of exceptional children are placing new demands on physicians and teachers to work together. This article reviews the published educational and medical literature on physician/teacher collaboration. Articles from both fields contend that collaboration is necessary, desirable, and possible. As expected, all articles favor increased collaboration, however, specific guidelines to improve collaboration are surprisingly scarce. Suggestions to improve collaboration are provided.
