Evidence-Based Guidelines for Diagnosis of Learning Disabilities: Response to Proposed DSM-5 Criteria for Learning Disabilities

The Division of School Psychology is composed of scientific-practitioner psychologists whose major professional interests lie with children, families and the schooling process. The Division represents the interests of psychologists engaged in the delivery of comprehensive psychological services to children, adolescents, and families in schools and other applied settings. The Division is dedicated to facilitating the professional practice of school psychology and actively advocates in domains such as education and health care reform, which have significant implications for the practice of psychology with children. Members receive the journal School Psychology Quarterly and the quarterly newsletter The School Psychologist. The Division welcomes student members. Specialist level school psychologists and practitioners are welcome to join the Division as Professional Affiliates. Division 16 is recruiting new members.  We are pleased to announce a new one-year program where individuals who have never been a member of Division 16 may join for free for 2010.  Click here for details of this recruitment initiative.
