Professor Schare, Director, 516-463-5009

This program offers psychologists with doctoral degrees in areas other than clinical and school psychology the opportunity to respecialize in clinical and/or school psychology so that they may ethically practice in these areas. Respecialization candidates are given programs that meet the APA guidelines which require that psychologists who wish to change their service specialty, or add an additional area of applied specialization must meet the same requirements with respect to subject matter and professional skills that apply to doctoral training in the new specialty. The program of each candidate is individualized and all credit is given for relevant course work and requirements that have been satisfied previously.
