These practical courses involve the application of principles and theories of consultation and intervention through field-based experiences.

Intervention and prevention programs will target multiple levels within the placement site, including the individual student, classroom, school, and/or system. Demonstration of learning and skill will be exhibited in the development of case studies involving children experiencing academic and/or emotional difficulties. Through these case studies, students will combine the scientist-practiti1r model with a data-based problem solving approach to intervene with children in need of school psychology intervention.
