“…These Acts were designed to provide supplemental and education-related services to handicapped and impoverished students, respectively. School-based psychological services expanded significantly under these two programs, with school psychologists numbering over 12,000 by 1978 (Meacham, 1983). The benefits of these programs were most evident in school districts and communities that previously had minimal support services.…”

The unmet needs of our nation's children and families have continued to increase, especially for impoverished and minority populations. In response, there has been growing support for a service integration approach that emphasizes interagency and interdisciplinary coordination and collaboration, particularly with respect to the role of schools. The American Psychological Association (APA) Task Force on Comprehensive and Coordinated Psychological Services for Children Ages 0-10 endorsed the service integration model and called for professional psychology to take a leadership role in its development, refinement, implementation, and evaluation. The APA adopted these recommendations as policy.The extent of unmet needs of our nation's children and families is cause for alarm. Current reviews reveal a high incidence of problems associated with poverty, hunger, nonuse of established preventive medical care, crime, violence, fear, diseases

“…There may be as many as 20,000 people who consider themselves to be school psychologists, and there are 210 accredited (NASP, APA, National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education/NASP, state accreditation) training programs (Fagan, 1985; Meacham, 1983; Meacham & Peckham, 1978). The number of nondoctoral programs have grown from 28 to 254 (some of these lack the aforementioned accreditations), and the number of doctoral programs have grown from 10 to 79 between 1950 and 1984 (Brown & Minke, 1984; Cutts, 1955; Fagan, 1985).…”

Events within and outside of school psychology are shaping its future. The future of the profession has been considered in several recent articles by prominent school psychologists. In addition, the American Psychological Association (APA) and the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) have recently proposed new guidelines and revised standards for training and practice. It is argued that school psychologists are seeking avenues for nondoctoral independent practice in an environment unlikely to be supportive of such efforts. Further, it is suggested that school psychology organizations and educators cooperate to hasten a transition of school psychology to a doctoral specialty.No endeavor is more uncertain than that of predicting the future. Despite such uncertainty, school psychologists have engaged in several ambitious planning events (e.g., the Spring Hill and Olympia Conferences) and produced future-oriented publications (
