This handbook addresses the current state and practice of school
psychology with a focus on standards unique to Australia, including
historical, legal, ethical, practical, and training factors. It
provides a compilation of the most current research-based practices
as well as guidelines for evidence-based assessment and
intervention for common conditions (e.g., autism, depression,
learning disabilities) and for delivering appropriate services to
targeted student populations (e.g., LGBT, gifted, medical issues).
Chapters discuss the application of national and international
school psychology practices within the Australian educational and
psychological structure. The handbook also examines the lack of
formal resources specific to Australia's culture and psychology
systems, with its unique mix of metropolitan cities and the vast
geographic landscape that spans regional and remote areas. It
offers numerous case studies and innovative school mental health
programs as well as recommendations for professional development
and advocacy that are unique to Australian school psychology.
Topics featured in this Handbook include: Evidence-based assessment
and intervention for dyscalculia and mathematical disabilities.
Identification and management of adolescent risk-taking behaviors
and addictions. Understanding and responding to crisis and trauma
in the school setting. Prevention and intervention for bullying in
schools. Class and school-wide approaches to addressing behavioral
and academic needs. The role of school psychologists in the digital
age. Practical advice for school psychologists facing complex
ethical dilemmas. The Handbook of Australian School Psychology is a
must-have resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and
graduate students in child and school psychology, social work, and
related fields that address mental health services for children and
adolescents.
