We have just returned from Albany, NY and Cromwell, CT. Nice people. Next week we will be in Irving (Dallas) Texas with the Texas Association of School Psychologists with a whizzbang seminar on "keeping your practice safe."
This will deal with ethics issues for school psychologists, and include information on the US Supreme Court ruling in June of 2009 in the Forest Grove case.
This case has the potential to change special education laws and regulations- and how school systems respond to the implementation of those regulations.
Additionally, this ruling may actually bring "private" therapists, like non-school psychologists, social workers, and counselors into a direct relationship with the schools. As example, school folks use the criteria found in IDEA to determine eligibility for special education services, while Forest Grove incorporates DSM-IV.
There are other seminars that will be being announced on the website soon. Be sure to see that website at http://www.mentalhealthseminars.net/.
