"Because of the barriers to learning and living in our society, there is an increasing need for professionally trained counseling and school psychology personnel. Our graduate programs are based in a developmental, experiential training model that includes understanding theory, building assessment and intervention skills, practicing skills in a supervised clinical setting, and performing skills in vivo. Integrated throughout our programs is a scientist-practitioner orientation that prepares students to ascertain the efficacy of assessment and intervention techniques."
