As the end of the summer nears, I want to share with you a few NASP updates.
I encourage you to renew your membership, which expired on June 30, to maintain access to your NASP member benefits. Please renew online at www.nasponline.org/membership/index.aspx.
As you begin to gear up for the new school year, you will want to check out the back-to-school resources available at www.nasponline.org/families/index.aspx#back. The offerings include several handouts and audio articles for parents on topics such as homework, school refusal, anxiety disorders, and much more. Don't forget to utilize the Resource Library, which is organized alphabetically by topic, throughout the school year to easily find resources on the topics you need. You can access the library at www.nasponline.org/resources/index.aspx.

I am in Washington, DC this week, attending the Delegate Assembly with NASP leaders from across the country. It has been a busy and exciting year at NASP. I wanted to share some of our proudest accomplishments with you.
This year, our Delegate Assembly approved three new NASP position statements and the NASP 2010 Professional Standards. You will be hearing more on the standards and related Practice Model in the coming months. Also, critical to the identity and practice of school psychologists, NASP advocated for the retention of the school psychologist exemption in APA's Model Act for State Licensure of Psychologists. Thanks to your help, the 2010 Model Act continues to recognize the authority of state education agencies to credential and title school psychologists.

NASP Delegate Letter February 2010 |

I hope you had an opportunity to read the recent message from Patti Harrison, NASP President, on the status of the American Psychological Association's (APA) proposed revisions to its Model Licensure Act (MLA). The proposed MLA being considered for adoption by APA significantly restricts the exemption for school psychologists. I encourage you to keep up-to-date on this issue, which is so important to our professional futures, by visiting www.nasponline.org/standards/apamla.aspx.
NASP leadership, members, and staff have been actively engaged in a 3-year effort to preserve the right of school psychologists to use their title and engage in the practice for which they are trained and credentialed. NASP will continue to communicate our position to APA until the vote in February. Right now it appears that there is no formal opportunity for individuals to send comments to APA. Mass communications to the APA Council will not be helpful and are likely to be harmful. You can be confident that if the proposed MLA becomes APA policy, NASP is prepared to assist you and our state association in protecting school psychologists' title at the state level. NASP is currently updating key messages, coordinating with state leaders, and preparing for strong state-level advocacy.
