School Psychology Program Overview
As the first school psychology program offered in the state, the Emporia State University (ESU) school psychology program has a long-standing history of respect by the educators of Kansas. Beginning in 1952, our candidates began collaboration with Kansas schools, and to this day there are ESU-trained school psychologists on staff in virtually all districts and special educational cooperatives in Kansas.

The initial training occurs in association with members of disciplines including early childhood, gifted education, and adaptive education, as candidates understand characteristics and methods courses related to preschool and school-aged children with developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, mental retardation, autism, serious emotional disturbance, and more.
