VASP is Now a NASP Provider of CPDs
The NASP-Approved Provider (AP) program permits sponsors of continuing professional development to offer "NASP-approved" training for school psychologists. Obtaining your continuing education from a NASP-Approved Provider provides you assurance that the training is aligned with NASP Training Standards and is provided by someone with expertise in the subject. Those who hold the NCSP will need to obtain 10 of their continuing professional development credits beginning in January 2010 in order to review their NCSP credential.

I would like to welcome everyone to become active participants in VASP as we begin our new year. Our organization strives to meet the diverse needs of psychologists across the state. To that end we will be crafting a new a strategic plan to guide our organization and respond to member needs. It will be built on the hard work completed by our past presidents and boards as well as the new practice standards from NASP. Upon joining VASP, I quickly learned that I was surrounded by smart and collaborative psychologists. I look forward to working with everyone to make sure that our organization remains a vibrant institution that responds to the challenging and changing needs of psychologists throughout the commonwealth. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. We value everyone’s opinion. It is only through having the discussions and then defining our goals that we will move forward. Thank you all for having the faith in me to allow me to lead our vibrant organization.
Ellen Goldberger, PhD
President VASP
