Research and practice in special education have only begun to incorporate interventions from other disciplines. Child and adolescent psychopharmacology recently has begun to assert itself as a primary intervention in treatment of children with disruptive behavioral disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Recent findings in this area will be reviewed along with a brief review of medications used for children with mood or schizophrenic disorders. The article concludes with a discussion of collaborative practice with physicians and families in multi-modal treatment of children with emotional and behavioral disorders. The authors argue that effective special education practice demands such collaboration.
