Co-requisites: Practicum in Consultation and Intervention: I and II Course (PSYC 617/PSYC 618)
These practical courses are part of the final “capping off” of students before they begin professional school psychology internships. Applying the data-based problem-solving model, students will engage in the administration and scoring of traditional and alternative measures of intelligence, achievement, adaptive behavior, visual-perceptual, and socio-emotional functioning that are commonly used by school psychologists. Students will apply data to problem analysis and recommend or implement appropriate interventions, monitor the effectiveness of the interventions, and adhere to standards of best practice in school psychology. Students will experience various roles frequently expected of school psychologists in public schools or affiliated agencies with supervision provided by practicing certified/licensed psychologists.
