PSYC 657: Field Experience in School Psychology II

This practicum provides a continuation of skill development within the school setting. Students increase their placements to 1.5 days per week in a school district where they practice testing skills and gain experience utilizing observational techniques and providing targeted interventions. In addition, students also participate in provision of special education services where they gain experience working directly with children with disabilities in an academic setting. On-site field supervisors, as well as program faculty, provide ongoing supervision for this practicum. The practicum seminar covers topics such as multidisciplinary teams, the parent-school relationship, and the impacts of educational disabilities on school functioning.
