EDITH E. NOLAN received her PhD in developmental psychology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She is currently a senior research scientist in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Her research interests include pharmacotherapy for attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder and Tourette syndrome. A continuing concern in clinical child psychopharmacology is developing treatment evaluation procedures that are more scientifically rigorous and ecologically valid than the ones that are popularly used at the present time. One potential model for such a procedure is school-based medication evaluation. This article describes some of the practical considerations associated with its implementation based on experience with 35 consecutive cases over a 6-year period.
