Happy National School Psychology Week! This year's theme is "Spark Discovery," which recognizes the work that school psychologists do to help their communities seek out new ideas, effect change, and expand horizons for children. SDASP encourages you to take a moment each day this week to explore ways to celebrate the important work we do! NASP has a variety of activities that you may find useful to celebrate school psychology!

Greetings and thanks for visiting the South Dakota Association of School Psychologists website!
The Purpose of SDASP is:

The vision of the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) is that all children and youth access the learning, behavior, and mental health support needed to thrive in school, at home, and throughout life. Consistent with this vision is the core purpose of NASP, which is to empower school psychologists to promote the learning, behavior, and mental health of all children and youth. This purpose is accomplished through the values of integrity, diversity, a focus on children and youth, advocacy, collaborative relationships, continuous improvement, and visionary leadership.
