Illinois HB4397 revises qualifications for school psychologists and expands their services.
Illinois HB4397 amends the School Code to redefine the qualifications for school psychologists. It allows those with a specialist degree, an equivalent degree with at least 60 graduate semester hours, or a higher degree in school psychology to qualify. School psychologists can now provide a broader range of services, including psychoeducation, consultation, supervision of interns, and screening for referrals. They are prohibited from offering services outside their employment district.
