An Exploratory Evaluation of Conjoint Behavioral Consultation to Promote Collaboration Among Family, School, and Pediatric Systems: A Role for Pediatric School Psychologists

Getting to First Base: Promoting Engagement in Family–School Intervention for Children with ADHD in Urban, Primary Care Practice

“…There is a wealth of literature attesting to the important roles that school mental health professionals can serve in health settings, including fostering collaborations between school and health professionals, advocating for families, and promoting family involvement in education (Power et al 2003;Sheridan et al 2009). In this project, school mental health professionals invested their effort in promoting family engagement so that families could participate in an intervention designed to improve family-school collaboration, family involvement in education, and linkages between the school and primary care practice.…”

Conjoint Behavioral Consultation: Community–School Collaboration and Behavioral Outcomes Using Multiple Baseline

“…While these home behavioral outcomes relied on parent report, the current study builds on this evolution by providing direct observation data for home behavior. The current study also contributes to the literature by building upon the existing case and exploratory studies Sheridan et al, 2009) that have investigated the use of CBC in outside settings. While these studies have focused primarily on the pediatric setting, they have expanded the traditional realm of CBC and suggest that it can be used by outside mental health clinicians in a meaningful way.…”

Implementation Planning to Promote Parents' Treatment Integrity of Behavioral Interventions for Children with Autism

“…In CBC, a consultant meets with a parent and teacher (or other relevant school professional) to (a) identify and evaluate a target behavior and relevant environmental variables; (b) identify, individualize, and train implementers on a behavioral intervention; and (c) evaluate the impact of the intervention once implemented (Sheridan & Kratochwill, 2008). A robust literature base supports the effectiveness of CBC across many different types of students and interventions (Kratochwill, Elliott, Loitz, Sladeczek, & Carlson, 2003;Sheridan, Warnes, et al, 2009;Sheridan, Eagle, & Doll, 2006). For instance, a recent randomized control trial found that behavioral interventions identified and individualized with CBC had a greater impact across school and home settings versus interventions selected through typical school processes (e.g., via Student Assistance Teams; Sheridan et al, 2012).…”
