Purpose School-aged children with hearing loss are best served by a multidisciplinary team of professionals. The purpose of this research was to assess school-based speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) perceptions of their access to, involvement of, and working relationships with educational audiologists in their current work setting. Method An online survey was developed and distributed to school-based SLPs in North Carolina. Results A significant difference in access to and involvement of educational audiologists across the state was found. Conclusions This research contributes to professional knowledge by providing information about current perceptions in the field about interprofessional practice in a school-based setting. Overall, SLPs reported positive feelings about their working relationship with educational audiologists and feel the workload is distributed fairly.

Mental health problems in children are a major deterrent to learning. Yet the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health in 2002 pointed out that mental health services for children are so fragmented as to be ineffective in major ways. The commission’s report emphasizes the importance of using the school system as the means of delivering such services. The school-based approach to mental health helps accomplish several goals: • Minimizing barriers to learning • Overcoming stigma and inadequate access to care • Providing comprehensive on-site counseling services • Creating a school climate that promotes students’ social and emotional functioning • Promoting healthy psychological and social development This chapter will describe the mental health services at the Children’s Aid Society (CAS) community schools, focusing on staffing, structure, and strategies and describing the clinic at one school in greater detail. Questions of space, accountability, and funding will be explored, and some conclusions based on our work will be discussed. CAS’s school-based clinics, located in elementary and middle schools, provide individual and family counseling, group therapy, in-depth assessments and referrals, and crisis intervention for students and their family members. Referrals to the clinic are made by students, teachers, and parents. Assessment and intervention plans include the active participation of the child, his or her family, school staff, and anyone else who can help in understanding the child’s needs. Based on the assessment, the child and/or family are engaged in shortor long-term individual, group, or family counseling aimed at ameliorating the problems that precipitated the referral. An in-depth psychosocial assessment is the first step in developing a comprehensive treatment plan that includes short- and long-term goals. Psychological and psychiatric evaluations are scheduled as appropriate. Clinicians (social workers with M.S.W. or C.S.W. degrees) generally have caseloads of 18–22 students, with enough room in their schedules to see walk-ins and emergencies. Problems that have been successfully treated include suicide ideation, physical and sexual abuse, drug and alcohol use, disruptive school behaviors, academic delays, hyperactivity, family and peer conflicts, and depression.

Measure Analysis

A family counseling intervention grounded in systemic family therapy was conducted in a Title I school-based setting with ( N = 48) kindergarten through sixth-grade student-clients and their primary caregivers. Families’ perception of family communication and satisfaction on the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale-IV was investigated to determine changes in the percentile score at three benchmarks. A repeated measure analysis of variance indicated a statistically significant difference over time in caregivers’ perception of family communication and satisfaction after 5 and 10 weeks. There was no difference in relationship to gender. School-based family counseling programs can contribute to improved family communication and satisfaction. School-based counselors can partner with institutions of higher education to provide free and accessible counseling for students and families in the greatest need.
