School Psychologist Business Cards for NCSP Certified Educational Practice

School psychologists are the mental health and educational support professionals who work within K-12 school systems to help all students succeed academically, emotionally, and socially. School psychology is a specialized field at the intersection of psychology and education: school psychologists conduct psychoeducational assessments to identify learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, emotional disturbances, and intellectual disabilities; design and implement interventions; provide counseling; support crisis response; and collaborate with teachers, parents, administrators, and community mental health providers to create supportive school environments.
