41 Ratio and Professional Practices Ratio of <1500:1 associated with more intervention-based services and less assessment (Smith, 1984) Higher ratios: more initial special education evaluations, more reevaluations, and greater percentage of time spent in special education- related activities, overall. Lower ratios: more students served through individual counseling, the conduct of more student groups, and more students served through groups (Curtis, Hunley, & Grier, 2002)

42 Ratio and Practices (Cont’d) Higher ratios: more initial special education evaluations and reevaluations, and greater percentage of time spent in special education- related activities, overall. Lower ratios: more time spent in intervention services and non- special education services (Curtis, Grier, Abshier, Sutton, & Hunley, 2002)

44 Potential Implications of Shortage Higher Ratios: > time in special education activities < time in intervention-based services Limit or Reversal of Role Expansion in Schools Lower Standards for Credentialing Emergency/Alternative Credentialing Larger Enrollments in Training Programs, but with fewer faculty

45 Implications (cont’d) Introduction/Expansion of Other Professional Roles Emergence of New Professional Roles More options for and interest by school psychologists in alternative settings Competition/Incentives for school psychologists Alternative Service Delivery Models
