Description
School psychologists are obligated to understand the psychoeducational implications of pediatric conditions in order to develop effective psychoeducational evaluation plans and establish special service eligibility under the category of Other Health Impairment (OHI). To assist school psychologists with evidence-based evaluation planning, literature regarding the top 12 pediatric chronic illnesses encountered by school psychologists was reviewed. This poster presents established neuro-psychoeducational deficits associated with these pediatric conditions that should be considered targets of evaluation.
