Abstract
USA school psychologists are described with regard to their employer, gender, age, race, professional membership, highest degree, title, certification and licensure. The role and function of school-based psychologists is then discussed in relation to recent changes, psychologist-student ratio, referral services used and student ethnicity. This is followed by consideration of the special education legislation and court decisions that have influenced the role of USA school psychologists.Keywords
