There is increasing pressure for educators to address their student's medical issues in the school setting. This book was developed to give assistance and information to practitioners based on a critical review of current pediatric medical research. McCabe (school psychology, City University of New York) and Shaw (school psychology, McGill University) assembled a group of academics to complete scholarly articles on each topic, with each one following an easy-to-read format. Schools as partners in health care delivery, current medical issues affecting schoolchildren, and prevention and wellness intervention are the subjects covered. To deliver this information in a beneficial way, the text features research summaries, case studies, classroom strategies, discussion questions, glossaries, and handouts for sharing with parents and colleagues. One in a three-volume series titled Current Topics and Interventions for Educators. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
