School Psychology Intern
At NEISD, all LSSP interns receive individual supervision by a Lead School Psychologist or Director, as well as weekly group supervision that allows our students to benefit from shared experiences. Beyond quality supervision, our structured internship training program also provides a wide variety of supported learning opportunities to foster independence and supported skill development in all of the NASP practice domains.
Evaluation Duties in NEISD
In North East ISD, our 50+ evaluators are assigned using a collaborative, cluster-based model working together with educational diagnosticians. Each LSSP is typically assigned to 1-2 elementary, or a single secondary school to support the ARD process. To ensure a pre-identified maximum evaluation caseload is not exceeded, all evaluation assignments are monitored by the Lead LSSP Team
