Respecialization Information

Individuals with a graduate degree in a closely related field (e.g., clinical psychology, counseling psychology) may be eligible for the Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) designation, provided they have completed a respecialization program at a NASP-approved training program.

After submission of the certification application, the NASP office will send the applicant a “Documentation for Respecialization Cases” form. This must be completed and signed by the current program director of the training program where the applicant completed the respecialization program. Additional documentation must be provided, such as a copy of the program of studies and transcript review completed upon the applicant's enrollment in the NASP-approved program.
