NASP Engages APA on Master's-Level Independent License for School Psych

APA continues with plans to create three Masters-level programs for independent licensure including school psychology. There have been two opportunities that NASP has encouraged individual and state association responses. The first was concerning the overall initiative to create the Health Services Psychologist program in three specialties: Clinical Psychology, Counseling Psychology, and School Psychology. The second was in response to the training program requirements for each discipline. A third and likely final public comment opportunity is anticipated soon and will respond to the credentialing requirement for being able to practice independently with a master’s level degree. It is not known at this time when this final phase will be outlined and presented for public comment.
