Many youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may benefit from interdisciplinary care coordination. Communication and collaboration between the school and clinic settings is particularly important when youth with ASD are receiving both special education and clinic-based services. The responsibility of initiating coordinated care has historically been with the medical home (e.g., primary care clinicians), however, educational professionals (e.g., school psychologists) are also well positioned to assume a leadership role in care coordination. Little is known about the current state, feasibility, or effectiveness of school psychologists leading care coordination efforts. The current study utilizes a mixed-method approach to understand school psychologists' engagement in interdisciplinary collaboration across settings, a central tenet to coordinated care, in providing services to youth with ASD.
许多自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的年轻人可能会受益于跨学科的护理协调。当 ASD 年轻人同时接受特殊教育和基于诊所的服务时，学校和诊所环境之间的沟通和协作尤为重要。历史上，发起协调护理的责任在于医疗之家（例如，初级保健临床医生），但是，教育专业人员（例如，学校心理学家）也非常适合在护理协调中担任领导角色。关于学校心理学家领导护理协调工作的现状、可行性或效果知之甚少。本研究采用混合方法来了解学校心理学家在跨环境的跨学科协作中的参与度，这是协调护理的核心原则，以便为 ASD 年轻人提供服务。
