Description
This presentation provides an update on ethics for school psychology practitioners. A brief historical perspective on the development of NASP's Principles for Professional Ethics provides the backdrop for identifying suggested future code revisions. A set of broad ethical principles and corollary standards for school-based practice are identified. Continuing and emerging ethical challenges are discussed including parent access to test protocols, electronic transmission and storage of school psychological records, and the school psychologist's autonomy in writing reports and recommendations, among others.
