APPLICATION PACKET PROCEDURES
Because Louisiana Regulations do not allow those who do not have specialty training in school psychology to work in the schools, we can only offer internships to those students who have completed the requisite training in a graduate program in School Psychology. Applicants must be registered with APPIC in order to apply.

These are the steps necessary to complete an application for LAS*PIC.

1. Visit the APPIC Website (www.appic.org) and download the application packet (AAPI).
2. Complete the application for internship.
3. In addition to the AAPI, please submit the following:
1. Three (3) letters of recommendation; one of these must be from your director of training.
2. Submit a resume or vita. Be sure to include any presentations or publications you have authored. Note any awards you have received while in graduate school.
3. An official transcript of your coursework during your training (preferably sent directly from your university records department
4. Include two (2) writing samples:
1. A comprehensive psycho-educational report or assessment report and,
2. An intervention plan (either behavioral or academic) which includes a description of the methods and data used to determine the needs of the student. The writing samples are important elements in our screening of the application.
