Читать книгу Ethics and Law for School Psychologists - Susan Jacob - Страница 28

Professional models for the delivery of school psychological services differ from ethical codes in both scope and intent. The NASP’s Model for Comprehensive and Integrated Services by School Psychologists ([Model], 2020) represents a consensus among practitioners and trainers about the roles and duties of school psychologists, desirable conditions for the effective delivery of services, the components of a comprehensive school psychological services delivery system, and standards for best practices. This document can be used to inform practitioners, students, trainers, administrators, policy makers, and consumers about the nature and scope of appropriate and desirable services. The NASP and the APA seek to ensure that members abide by their respective ethical codes and investigate and adjudicate code violations. In contrast, the NASP’s Model identifies standards for excellence in the delivery of comprehensive school psychological services, and it is recognized that not all school psychologists or all school psychological service units will be able to meet every identified guideline.
