Parent Rights: REQUESTING PSYCHOLOGIST’S CREDENTIAL Posted on 09/19/2016 by Community — 2 Comments ↓ Rosie: As a parent, do I have the right to ask for the child psychologist’s credentials?
You can ask, but a question like that is not conducive to collaborative relationships. The answer is likely to be, licensed as a school psychologist. I think there may be a way to look this up online or to find out from state ed, if you’re really in doubt. Reply ↓
Yes. Professionals should be willing to answer your questions about their education, training, and experience. You should check references and review credentials.
