Abstract

School functioning typically includes measures of academic achievement, attendance, and social belonging within the school environment. There is limited research on school functioning for students with as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Bulimia Nervosa (BN). This poster presents a review of the literature on school functioning for adolescents with OCD and or BN. Understanding school functioning in these populations may aid school psychologists in supporting these students whether they are encountered in areas of assessment, intervention, or consultation. The research available suggests students with OCD and BN have difficulties in some areas of school functioning.
