School psychologists are frequently criticized for not effecting change in students referred to them. This article describes one model‐process which the author, while functioning as a school psychologist, successfully implemented to eliminate this criticism. Adoption of this approach should result in the school psychologist's being perceived as a viable force in the diagnostic‐prescriptive process, rather than merely a tester or gate‐keeper for special education.
