Ohio Counties Served: | |||||
Although CASP is designated as the regional association for Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Ashtabula and Trumbull counties, our membership includes professionals from a total of thirteen surrounding counties at this time (including Lorain, Lucas, Medina, Portage, Richfield, Stark, Summit, and Wayne). We welcome and encourage participation and dual membership from members of other regional school psychology organizations for greater professional growth and collegiality. All school psychologists (practicing, retired, university trainers, interns, practicum students, and first year students) are welcome and encouraged to become a part of CASP today! |

Special Affiliations or Roles: | |||||
In addition to CASP’s contributions to the OSPA Scholarship, CASP continues to offer its members numerous opportunities to participate in group service projects. For several years, our members have walked as a team for NAMIWalk Greater Cleveland. Together we have raised thousands of dollars for this organization, which supports people with mental illness. We also regularly have groups of 10-12 members volunteer for the Cleveland Food Bank for various projects, including the School Backpack Program. CASP also supports the Providence House, a crisis nursery offering emergency shelter and care for children at risk for abuse or neglect, by donating items and money, as well as participating in a “Done in a Day Project” in the spring. This past year a team of about 15 CASP members spent a morning sorting and labeling clothes for the center. We are very proud of the many community service projects that our members participate in throughout the year! |

"Celebrities" or Special Stories: | |||||
Our membership is comprised of school psychologists who have gone beyond the "role of the school psychologist" in their respective school districts. In addition to chairing district committees, supervising interns and practicum students, and providing professional development to staff, many have also held elected offices and/or chaired committees in our professional associations; presented at international, national, state and regional conventions and conferences; and served as university faculty members and/or supervisors for district school psychology departments. The following CASP members are especially celebrated for their leadership roles in our profession:
