From the Paper:

"Schools can play a helpful role in the use of medication. Very often, the effect of medication can best be observed at school, which is structured and has specific expectations. While often parents look to teachers to report back regarding how well medication is working, some think that having more trained observers might benefit the process of medication management. In one study, the researchers surveyed school psychologists to see how many of them included observation for reports of response to medication as part of their jobs. "
