Characteristics of Interprofessional Collaboration Between Educational Psychological Services and Schools: A Scoping Review

Abstract

Interprofessional collaboration is the preferred working approach for supporting children with special educational needs. Furthermore, educational psychology services (EPS) have been identified as a significant means of realizing the ideals of inclusive education for at-risk children. However, the literature on interprofessional collaboration is highly dominated by research in healthcare context with limited focus on educational settings. To address this gap, this scoping review provides an overview of research on interprofessional collaborations in educational settings, specifically between EPS and primary and lower secondary schools.
