What is the ABSNP?
The ABNSP was established in 1999 in response to the growing interest in school neuropsychology and a need for a peer-reviewed credential that would attest to a practitioners competency in school neuropsychology. The Diplomate in School Neuropsychology credential is awarded to applicants that demonstrate competency in school neuropsychology.
The body of specialized knowledge in the the overall field of school psychology has grown exponentially in recent years. Through natural selection or as a result of a need for specialized services, practitioners are increasingly choosing a subspecialty area as a focus of their practice. School neuropsychology is one such subspecialty. What criteria is established to determine competency for those claiming expertise in schoool neuropsychology?
The ABSNP was created to recognize the competency of school neuropsychologists. The ABSNP requires documentation of one's professional skills and training, passage of a written objective examination, and an oral defense of a written case study. The ABSNP provides validation of a school neuropsychologist's professional skills and helps promote those skills to your peers and to the public.
