Company Profile
California Association of School Psychologists
Company Overview
CASP is the largest state-based association for school psychologists in the nation. Our purpose statement is "Empowering school psychologists to strengthen educational systems and the people they serve.” We are 1900 members strong with a vibrant capital presence, three robust annual events, multiple publications, and a prestigious peer-reviewed journal read by practitioners and academics throughout the United States.
Company History
CASP was founded in 1950 and is located in Sacramento, California. We are the largest and strongest voice for school psychologists in California. In addition to liaising with various state boards and commissions, CASP actively represents the profession to legislative audiences, governmental officials, and other policy-making bodies. We provide continuing professional development to members through regional training programs, webinars, and yearly conferences. Our publications include quarterly newsletter, CASP Today, and quarterly, peer-reviewed research journal, Contemporary School Psychology.
The CASP membership is comprised of individuals who work in school districts, and in private practice throughout the state, helping school personnel–teachers, administrators, and counselors–support student education and solve related learning, social, and adjustment difficulties. Working also with parents of students, school psychologists link homes, classrooms, and school systems to promote the mental health, learning, and welfare of California’s children and youth.
To know where our association is headed, it’s important to know where we’ve been. While so much has changed in the past 70 years, our core values remain the same. We won’t rest until every one of California’s student’s mental, emotional, and academic needs is met.
Benefits
CASP pays for membership in CalSAE, and enjoys free parking and an on-site gym.
