The state of Iowa is often
held up by the leaders in our field as an example of “best practices”
in the provision of school psychological services. School psychologists
in Iowa are integral members of school-based problem solving teams that
seek to develop and implement effective pre-referral strategies. In
this process, they collaborate with parents, teachers, and other school
professionals to make data-based decisions that are supported by multiple
approaches to gathering assessment information, including curriculum-based
evaluations, functional assessments and standardized norm-referenced
testing.
