Despite legal and ethical obligations to educate students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment, teachers and administrators may push back on inclusive placements. But, school psychologists can address educators’ concerns and move beyond compliance toward a truly equitable and supportive school by presenting research-based, legally grounded counterarguments.

School psychologists spoke up—and it made a difference. NASP thanks our members for their strong advocacy and the American Psychological Association for its partnership throughout its Model Licensure Act update. The final draft appropriately recognizes the distinct training, role, and title of school psychologists, reflecting NASP’s standards and impact. An open comment period is now underway, and we encourage our members and followers to submit a comment expressing support for this draft’s proposed language related to school psychology.

Last week, the U.S. Department of Education announced more than $200 million in new awards for the Mental Health Service Professional and School-Based Mental Health grant programs. This comes following April, when the Trump Administration abruptly issued notices of noncontinuation to 223 grantees, causing significant harm to communities that were benefitting from these grants. These new investments are a result of NASP's continued advocacy and demonstrate the critical role of school psychologists, and access to comprehensive school psychological services, in advancing student well-being.

In light of today's announcement by the Trump administration to move forward with measures that would effectively ban gender-affirming care for young people, NASP reaffirms its position statement on safe and supportive schools for transgender and gender diverse students. NASP supports access to gender-affirming care and rejects efforts that would allow health providers to deny services to gender diverse students or punish/prohibit parents from seeking gender affirming care for their children.
