Identify the broad reach of the Standards for the School Psychology specialty, from developing and giving tests to supporting teachers and school districts. 2. Describe the specific implications of the 2014 Standards for assessment practices in school psychology. ABSTRACT: School psychology is a general practice health service specialty in the school context, and school psychologists are involved in a variety of tasks from developing and administering tests to recommending test accommodations and recommending educational policies.
