Dr. Hebert recently completed his service as the Louisiana delegate for the National Association of School Psychologists. He explained that he was originally asked to consider serving on the LSSP.
“However, due to many previous commitments, I did not see it wise to overextend myself,” he said, “but I did promise my colleagues that I would be willing to serve on the committee in the future.”
“I decided that this would be a good time to volunteer my services to the LSSP committee. I am honored to be selected and hope to do well for the entire practice of psychology for the State of Louisiana.”
The LSSP makes recommendations on the various issues involving Licensed Specialists in School Psychology. Recently the Board adopted the recommendation of the LSSP Committee to define "school system" to include colleges and the Early Steps program.
