The racialized history of sickle cell disease (SCD) continues to contribute to racial disparities in healthcare and education. In the context of the racialized history of SCD, we begin by outlining subtypes of SCD and explaining that SCD is associated with chronic pain, silent cerebral infarct, overt stroke, and poor overall well-being--all of which have implications for school functioning. A literature search was conducted to identify significant meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and empirical articles to inform school psychologists' evaluation, service delivery, and decision-making practices when working with students with SCD. Common negative neuropsychological and psychoeducational outcomes associated with SCD are reviewed. Finally, recommended culturally responsive practices are discussed, ahead of a conclusion that contains a call to action for school psychologists.
