What is a school psychologist?

In this video, which is geared toward students, I explain what I do as a school psych. The job of a school psychologist varies dramatically state to state, district to district and school to school. Our national association (NASP) describes our the domains and skills we receive training in here. For me, and for many of my colleagues, the main part of our job is Special Education evaluations. This means doing a lot of testing (cognitive, behavioral, academic achievement), observations and collaboration with colleagues to understand students needs and determine if they qualify for an IEP. I created this website to house resources I've created for teachers and families I work with.
