If you are not already a member you may want to consider joining the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) Listserv. A listserv is kind of like a private email group in which emails sent to the listserv address is shared with everyone. This ends up with about 10 extra emails a day in your inbox (though you can request a single daily summary email) but it is well worth it.
Being a member of the listserv is simply like having access to your colleagues from all around the world (including some famous ones in our circles and some who believe they are more famous than they are :)
Today had discussions on Autism assessment, medication use within schools, teacher rating scale validity, and sensory processing resources. It really is a neat way to see how our US counterparts are thinking (good or bad). It's worth a look and you can always unsubscribe if it is not to your tastes.
This can be a great resource but one should also always follow listserv's with caution as it's hard to avoid posters who have ulterior motives (pushing tests, theories, etc).
To subscribe to the Listserv send an email to this address:
