Welcome
School Psychologist!
School Psychologists are professionals trained to work with
pre-schoolers, children, adolescents, and their teachers and families. They work
with all school personnel to help make education for students a positive and
rewarding experience.
The training requirements to become a school psychologist is a minimum of 60 graduate semester hours plus a year-long internship.
Training emphasizes preparation in mental health, child development, learning
and motivation. To work as a school psychologist, one must be certified and/or
licensed by the state in which services are provided. School Psychologists also
may be nationally certified by the National School Psychology Certification
Board (NSPCB). Each state has different requirements and not all states accept
NSPCB.
