Description: "What is the relationship between health and learning vis-a-vis theory, research, and practice? The purpose of this book is to examine the critical, historical, and contemporary linkages between health and learning, to review the best practices, and to make resources available for practitioners. Walsh and Murphy review current and historical efforts to provide health services to school children and youth. A list of print and non-print resources for professionals, parents, and school administrators is provided."--Jacket.
