From Coordination to Collaboration: Looking Across Healthcare and Educational Contexts to Support Children with Disabilities

Sat, April 11, 3:45 to 5:15pm PDT (3:45 to 5:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 2nd Floor, Platinum I

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Our symposium seeks to forge new pathways in supporting children with disabilities and special health care needs (CSHCN) across often-siloed healthcare and educational contexts. This session will probe the disconnections and alliances between these two systems, attending to the potential impact on CSHCN.
Further, while the umbrella term “CSHCN” was developed to consolidate policy efforts to improve outcomes, the designation’s diversity may obscure differences in sub-populations. Our symposium goals are to 1) link often-separated topics impacting CSHCN to generate new possibilities for practice-informed research, and 2) investigate the methodological tensions within the use of general designations (e.g., CSHCN) or specific designations (e.g., behavioral health or autism) in order to more fully account for and be accountable to experiences of CSHCN.
