Collaboration between school and community service providers allows for positive outcomes for students across academic and social-emotional functioning. The emergence of the subspecialty field of pediatric school psychology highlights the need for consultation and collaboration between school professionals and medical providers and opens the opportunity for such a successful partnership to address the educational needs of children with medical conditions (Power, DuPaul, Shapiro, & Parish, 1995). This article opens with a case study that highlights a growing school-community partnership and the student-focused benefits for such collaborative efforts. The sections following provide additional information regarding the benefits of school-community partnerships, barriers to collaboration between service providers, how to overcome barriers to collaboration, recommendations to consider when establishing such a partnership, and implications for school psychologists.
