This practice parameter reviews the topic of psychiatric consultation to schools. The review covers the history of school consultation and current consultative models; the process of developing a consultative relationship; school administrative procedures, personnel, and milieu; legal protections for students with mental disabilities; and issues typically arising in consultative situations. The objective of the parameter is to provide an introduction to the special vocabulary, knowledge, and skills that are important prerequisites for successful consultation in school settings.
