PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP REGISTRATION DEADLINE: JULY 1ST 2023

As an added benefit to conference participants, ISPA offers the opportunity to participate in several pre-conference workshops to help school psychologists from across the world gain new knowledge and skills in specific topics.

The half-day pre conference workshops will take place on Wednesday July 05th 2023, the day of the opening of the ISPA 2023 conference and the day before the regular conference program begins. The pre conference workshops will be led by well-known professionals and international leaders in their field.

The pre conference workshops are approved both by ISPA and NASP (National Association of School Psychologists) making them, thus, eligible for Continuing Education credit for USA based participants. Other countries may also recognize these workshops for Continuous Professional Development or certification and licensing reasons. See the presenters and the workshop titles below.
