Your videos and Tiffany’s are so helpful! You both inspired me to apply for a school psych (specialist) program. If I wanted to connect/ask questions (Ive been accepted to a school psych program) would it be possible to reach out via message on Instagram or e-mail? I didn’t want to follow you on Instagram since your account is private without first asking which is the best way to ask you questions. As a bilingual professional myself, your being bilingual is definitely motivating!
Do they really care about the child though? For some reason I get the vibe that all of the teacher and admin are super gossipy and it’s like high school in there.
Thank you so much for this!!! Is there any way I can reach out to you to ask you questions? I’m stuck with finishing my child and adolescent studies May 2025, and I was going to be a teacher but I am starting to think this is not the path for me. I feel like it’s too late, but I am intrigued by a school psychologist.
Hey, your video was very helpful to me as someone who was aiming to distinguish between a school counsellor and a school psychologist Do you know if a UK undergraduate can work in USA. Im aware a masters is required but can i do it in UK or has to be done in the USA?
Can you tell us about it National university school Psych? I am applying to that one but I saw that it’s not NASP approved. So now I’m a little hesitant, but that program works best for me since I can continue working.
Soo much missing here from the school psych realm. School psychs go to school for 3 years it’s a masters plus a specialist cert. Check NASPs professional standards school psychs also do all the stuff you said social workers do.
what theories, models or methods that is typically used in practice within this career path to help children and young people? is it something we are taught as undergrads?

Where I live we diagnose ID and LD. We do not identify ASD, that is diagnosed outside our system, and only then do we identify. All our identifications, even LD and ID, are done by a committee of 8 - four union and four union staff (one of which is a psychologist).
I`m interested in becoming a school psychologist and am looking for a graduate program, but I don't know where to find one. I`m completely lost, to be honest.
As a future school counselor, I would just like to debunk the myth about what school counselors do. School counselors help students in this 3 fields: academic success, social-emotional learning and career.
What school are you doing your Ed.S. at and is it online ? I’m having a hard time finding an all online Ed’s program . Please help for the state of Georgia
It definitely isn't easy but it is doable. It takes a lot of prioritizing, organizing, and sacrificing. I consider myself an organized person and would have a routine that worked for me and my family. I would do my homework at night after my kids would go to sleep, I gave up hanging out with friends in order to have time to do my homework, etc. It takes a lot of self discipline but I would constantly remind myself that it was only temporary and eventually it would pay off.
Hi Becky, The length of the reports can vary. It depends on what area(s) of eligibility you are looking at, how many areas you are looking at, what age group you are working with, if the report is for an initial or a triennial, etc.
I am pursuing school psychology for the same reasons! I also had a difficult up brining and I think of how I would’ve loved to have someone help. I know that especially during middle school myself and my peers struggled a lot in ways deeper than any adult knew. I wanted to know for states that pay lower such as PA, is there way for career advancement after the graduate level. I seen there are doctorate programs or maybe addition certifications to increase pay. I feel it’s a misconception school psychologist work only in schools. Is there any job placement setting that could pay more or be as enjoyable as working in the school setting that you’ve found?
Thank you for this video! I'm thinking about graduate school in school psychology or school counseling. I was curious about what you said about school psychology maybe being a better fit for introverted individuals compared to school counseling. I'm more introverted myself so that's why I am thinking more so about pursuing school psychology. If I could ask do you still feel this way now assuming you now have a few more years of experience in the field?
Hi Ryan, I just started my first year as a fully credentialed school psychologist and I still feel that I made the right choice. I think it gives a good balance of interactions and alone time (report writing, data analysis, etc) which I like as an introvert :) lol
I am finally going back to college to get my Bachelor's; however, I am having a hard time looking for which child development class to enroll to. I am also very interested in the same path as you. Here comes a handful of school psychologist. lol. I work at school, and I knew I wanted to stay in the education field. However, I was wondering if you can help me . Would Behavioral Health Science in Infancy and Early childhood studies be the same as child development?
Hi! I would recommend meeting with an academic counselor and letting them know you are interested in getting your bachelors in child development so that they can show you what courses you would need. Colleges/Universities can have different names to their degrees but are similar as far as the content. Early childhood studies sounds like it would be in the child development realm.
