The 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.

Louisiana Regulations do not allow us to accept applicants who do not have specialty training in school psychology to work in the schools.

These are the steps necessary to complete an application:
