Through research and practice, school psychologists help children develop positive relationships, build skills, and achieve academic success as well as overcome social, behavioral, and academic difficulties. Depending on training, school psychologists can work in schools, clinics, universities, research centers, juvenile justice facilities, medical centers, and private practice offices. The Educational Specialist (EdS) program is typically completed in 3 years, including an internship during the final year. This is the minimum degree required to practice in schools or educational settings.
