NASP annually offers a federal public policy institute to build the knowledge and skills of school psychologists and state association leaders regarding legislative and grassroots advocacy. 

NASP's Advocacy Team offers numerous resources and information about current public policy events and legislative priorities, specific advocacy action requests, information about how to contact your elected officials, and others to help you become an effective advocate for school psychology and the children and families we serve.

Many state and federal laws and regulations directly impact school psychologists and their role and function in schools. NASP carefully monitors state and federal legislation and offers support or voices opposition based on official NASP professional positions and policy platform. These positions are articulated by Position Statements, Resolutions, and White Papers that are approved by our Board of Directors and/or the Leadership Assembly.
