| Special
Affiliations or Roles: |
Many school districts in our region serve as
practica and intern school psychologist sites. The current
SPCO President, Jan Swartzentruber, Ph.D., leads the OSU School
Psychology Intern Seminar. |
| |
|
| Addition
Information: |
We would like to work with OSPA to increase
active membership and to expand our role as an expert resource
beyond the school forum and into the broader community.
This website provides an excellent opportunity for the Regionals
to unite into a statewide presence through OSPA and become
a reliable and respected resource for information related
to the education of children, broadly defined. |

| "Celebrities"
or Special Stories: |
We have several award-winners among our membership,
including the current OSPA School Psychologist of the Year,
Jim Kline.
Our membership represents professionals from large urban,
suburban, mixed suburban/rural, and rural districts. We have
an active relationship with the School Psychology program
at OSU, and members of the faculty are actively involved in
OSPA and SPCO. Antoinette Miranda , Ph.D., is the OSPA President-Elect,
and Laurice Joseph, Ph.D. is the Ohio School Psychologist
Editor as well as an active member of the Fall Conference
Committee.
Jack Naglieri, one of the authors of the Cognitive Assessment
System and other norm-referenced standardized assessment instruments,
is an alumnus of our region. He recently accepted a position
at George Mason University in Virginia and is in the process
of establishing a research and academic institute devoted
to issues concerning special education, especially with respect
to cognitive/executive functioning. |
