Psychiatrists and other mental health professionals are often presented with the opportunity to advocate for children experiencing symptoms and behaviors that affect their educational performance. However, the educational system can be a difficult one to navigate. Understanding the general frameworks and access points, including families’ legal rights, educational policies and procedures, and what kinds of services and accommodations may be helpful to address specific needs, are crucial. With this information, mental health professionals can be allies to patients and families and collaborators with schools to translate psychiatric need to educational support. This is especially true for the most vulnerable children who are at an increased risk for adverse educational outcomes, like poor achievement, school dropout, expulsion, and involvement in the juvenile justice system. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the need for collaborative care between educators and mental health providers. The compounding impact of the pandemic will make collaborative work even more crucial in the years to come.
