The APA (American Psychological Association) Accredited Psy.D. Program in School-Community Psychology prepares students to become skilled psychology practitioners in school and community health settings. Emphasis is placed on training psychologists to coordinate these services between school and community settings. The school system is viewed as an agency which is embedded in and interacts with a system of other agencies external to the school. Increasingly, schools, mental health centers and other human service agencies form an interdependent network that can better meet children's needs than the school system in isolation. The training model is therefore designed to educate our students in the traditional roles of school psychology, such as psychological assessment and intervention, while also providing training in community service agencies that facilitate child and family functioning. The school psychology areas of assessment, intervention, and consultation are augmented with training experiences in external agencies that work with the children and families, such as hospitals, mental health centers, counseling centers, drug treatment facilities and the like. Students thus learn how to function effectively as school psychologists while also acquiring skills in consultation, assessment, counseling and other interventions in community agencies. They also learn how to develop programs that mesh the traditional school system with human service agencies.
