School Psych Independent work
 

I think it is a wonderful idea to let school psychologists work independently and privately.  There is a dearth of mental health professions to help children and school psychologists have a ton of experience with that particular population.  Additionally, they work with staff and parents so they have plenty of experience with adults.  Many school psychologists also have clinical backgrounds but have not had supervisors that had supervision classes and have been denied the ability to practice outside of the school environment.  I believe that allowing school psychologists to work independently of schools with be most beneficial.  Especially in the climate that we are currently in.
