Oct 15, Information Only Emergency Rule for Specialists in School Psychology
The psychology board published information on October 15 on the Emergency Rules posting list of the Louisiana Register, regarding licensure of specialists in school psychology pursuant to Act 136 of the 2014.
However, according to the Editor, the Emergency Rule was not submitted in accordance with the prescribed uniform system of Louisiana Administrative Code codification guidelines. Therefore, it is being published as an informative measure for public review without regard to validity.
The Rule identifies the constitution, functions and responsibilities of the licensed specialist in School Psychology Advisory Committee. According to the information listed, the Committee is to include two members that are licensed school psychologists licensed under the LSBEP, selected from a list of self- nominations to the board. Also, one member that is either a licensed school psychologist licensed under the LSBEP or a licensed specialist in school psychology licensed under LSBEP will serve. The board’s executive director is to be an ex- officio, non-voting member.
The emergency rule also covers the scope, program requirements and supervised practica, and general program requirements. Also covered are supervision, qualifications of supervisors, and the supervision of graduate students and graduates in specialist-level school psychology. Also reviewed are Ethical Standards, among other topics.
Fees are listed at $200 for applications, $75 for the Jurisprudence Exam, and $100 for annual renewals.
