Studying the social validity of consultation research could lead to research results being more widely used among practitioners, improving the validity of consultation research, and furthering social justice. The following qualitative study investigates school psychologists' and teachers' perceptions of school-based consultation in four elementary schools. The findings are organized into two interrelated themes: the impact of the research on the participants and the impact of the participants and their surrounds on the data collection. Soliciting participants' reactions to studies could advance our knowledge considerably, thereby leading to more sophisticated future studies that could make research results more useful to practitioners and, ultimately, improve outcomes for students.

Key Words: consultation • research
