LASPIC LOGOThe Louisiana School Psychology Internship Consortium (LAS*PIC) is an APA accredited internship. We invite applications from students who have completed their graduate coursework in school psychology. During the past 20 years, LAS*PIC has provided an authentic,  school-based training experience for interns. An internship experience is an essential and integral part of a training program. The relationship between the university training program and internship should be viewed as a complementary one. One of the most important decisions students will make  is the selection of an internship site that best meets their professional goals and promotes their career development. As students contemplate this decision they will want to consider the site that will best prepare them for the events, conditions, and tasks they will encounter    in professional settings. The internship should support development of skills for competent practice, involving a variety of professional experiences, a focus on collaborative problem solving, and continued professional development with a core internship curriculum. Additionally, the internship should provide expert advice and feedback, behavior-modeling opportunities, and congruence between what interns want and what they get in the supervisory relationship. The Louisiana School Psychology Internship Consortium (LAS*PIC) realizes that activities during an internship can shape the direction of a professional career and support a successful entry into specialization within the profession.

Admission to the Internship Program

Interns will be accepted into the program on a non-discriminatory basis, without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, age, national origin, or disability. Interns are selected based on their potential to benefit from the training program and their potential to contribute to the Program and to the field of School Psychology.

Applications are due by Wednesday, November 14, 2012 and screened applicants will be invited to interview in December and January. As APPIC members, LAS*PIC subscribes to the National Matching Service, which will publish Phase I match results, Friday, February 22, 2013.
