Abstract
Teachers and school psychologists participating in routine school-based, pr oblem-solving consultation were surveyed regarding their perceptions of the referral concern, intervention development process, intervention outcomes, and their time investment. Respondents were surveyed using parallel forms on matched cases to permit analysis of perceptual agreement. Respondents re ported developing and implementing multicomponent interventions that were p redominantly designed for elementary schoolboys. Referral concerns included a range of problems that were rated by respondents as relatively severe. A cross most of the items, school psychologists and teachers exhibited relati vely high levels of agreement. The person to whom both the consultant and c onsultee reported feeling most accountable for the effectiveness of the int ervention was the classroom teacher (i.e., the consultee). Time investment estimates indicated that consulting school psychologists may have been more directly involved in implementing interventions than traditional definitio ns of consultation would indicate.
