Although pediatric psychologists have contributed much to the clinical and research literature regarding the effects of chronic illness on children's cognitive and social development, unfortunately we have been less productive in examining the reciprocal influence of children's illness on other systems including peer relationships, schools, and health care providers.

For the purpose of this article, I will draw primarily from my own program of research, as well as the programs of research from close colleagues. The literature reviewed here does not represent an exhaustive review of social ecology; rather, the purpose of the article is to provide
