Conclusion for Mental Health Services Use Among School-Aged Children with Disabilities
Research shows that 2 out of 5 children with a disability receive mental health services. As with many other aspects of living with a disability, there are many societal barriers to accessibility. The major ones affecting children receiving mental health services are race, age, and type of insurance. Results indicate there is a lack of accurate identification of who needs services and a large range in mental health care needs for children with disabilities. Research also shows that the inclusion of a health professional in care coordination may have an important role in increasing mental health care accessibility.
