Purpose and Goals of the Program
The overarching purpose of our program is to develop highly competent school psychologists. School psychologists are health promotion specialists who conduct psychological, educational and behavioral assessments for the purpose of designing effective interventions, counseling children and parents, consulting with teachers and parents, as well as performing in-service training. Northeastern University students develop competencies with respect to:

• A wide range of assessment approaches
• Prevention of problems and health promotion
• Consultation and collaboration
• Counseling individuals and groups
• Culture and diversity
• Program evaluation and applied research
• Oral and written communication

Some students also choose to specialize in Early Intervention. The early intervention training option prepares school psychologists to work with infants and toddlers and their families in community and related agencies.
