Your videos are so helpful! You sound a lot like Donna from the 70's show! A school psychologist at the school I work at says she was a grad assistant and she had her tuition paid. Even though they are underpaid, the tuition reimbursement is worth it in my opinion.
Thank you! Lol I’ve never heard that before😂😂 yes being a GA honestly saves so much money in the end since it’ll pay half or all your tuition, definitely worth it!
Do you work in a school setting I’m currently a senior majoring in psychology (undergrad) and I am looking for a job to work while getting my masters in school psych I currently work at an OBGYN clinic but would like to quit in a year to gain more field experience
Thank you! I took the praxis the summer before I started internship, so right before I began my third year. I definitely recommend taking it over the summer!
@@kaylamcvay2615 I purchased the practice exam on the ets.org website which was definitely helpful. Besides that, I reviewed slides from my classes and re-read highlights in my books!
Hi, I'm an undergrad interested in pursuing school psych in the future. You did mention that you were hired because you were already trained in some assessments after your first year of grad school, but do you know if it is possible to work at a neuropsych office/clinic as an undergraduate or directly after undergrad? Thank you and I really appreciate this content!
You could potentially get hired during or right after undergrad as a secretary, but if you are not trained in any assessments, I’m not sure. I would check (if they post a job) what requirements they are looking for!
So that was included in my 3-year program, they told me before I was accepted that halfway during the program, we would receive the MA in counseling after taking the necessary courses and passing an exam for it.
@@rachelferagne2188 I am considering mental health counseling but I also think school psychology is very interesting. What is an effective way to determine if a program in school psych will have the option for acquiring an MA in counseling as well?
I'm an undergrad student in psychology and I'm looking forward to going to grad school, thank you so much for this video and your recommendations!

Love your content! So helpful!
I'm currently an RBT and I was thinking of becoming a BCBA but school psychology sounds so interesting!
That's exciting! I know, during my training as a school psychologist, we were trained to do FBAs with students, so that is a bit of an overlap!
Thank you so much for the other options!
I am currently working as an Intervention Specialist as I do my doctorate in School Psych :)
That's awesome!!

This is so helpful!! Thank you thank you
Love your videos! What advice would you suggest in regards scheduling to taking the praxis for school psychology, when did you take it?
Thank you! I took the praxis the summer before I started internship, so right before I began my third year. I definitely recommend taking it over the summer!
@@rachelferagne2188 Thanks for the tip. What study books did you utilize for preparation?
@@kaylamcvay2615 I purchased the practice exam on the ets.org website which was definitely helpful. Besides that, I reviewed slides from my classes and re-read highlights in my books!
@@rachelferagne2188 Gotcha thanks! I’ll check that out.
How was your graduate program cheaper than your undergraduate degree? Also, what experience looks good on a resume before applying to grad school?

What was the name of the position for working in a neuropsychology office? Enjoyed your videos btw.
I was called a testing technician!
@@rachelferagne2188 I’m also studying school psychology at RIC, your videos are informative and well appreciated. Thanks again
@@chrisb8429 RIC was the best! Hope you're enjoying the program.
What was your position at the neuropsych office?
How do you get the MA while studying for school psychology?
So that was included in my 3-year program, they told me before I was accepted that halfway during the program, we would receive the MA in counseling after taking the necessary courses and passing an exam for it.

Hi there! Question, are the School Psychology internships typically paid?
No
What were the requirements to become an aba technician?
I didn't have much experience before getting hired as a behavior technician. I had to go through a few hours of training once I was hired!
All I can find are ABA jobs and it is the worst job ever.
It’s so exhausting and demanding
