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.
