And now a word from our legal staff:
Copyright infringement is a violation of federal law subject to criminal and civil penalties. "NASP" and "THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS" are service marks of the National Association of School Psychologists.

Only those documents which have been approved by the Delegate Assembly form the official positions of NASP, and those will be clearly noted within the website. All other documents reflect the ideas and positions of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the positions or ideas of the National Association of School Psychologists. The responsibility for the content of those documents lies solely with the authors.

The information provided in this website is - by necessity - of a general, impersonal nature. It should only be applied to a specific situation under the guidance of a fully qualified school psychologist who is familiar with the situation and the individuals involved. It is in no way an adequate substitute for a consultation with a school psychologist.

Using NASP Copyrighted Materials for Educational Purposes

NASP recognizes that items from our journal are frequently used in classes and in-services, and are sometimes included in course assignments and anthologies. An important court decision recently affirmed the need for educators to obtain authorization for copying such materials. Since that decision, a substantial increase in these requests has created an administrative burden for our small staff. Therefore, in order to more efficiently process requests for one-time educational usage, NASP entered into an agreement with the Copyright Clearance Center for its Academic Permissions Service (APS) to serve as a clearinghouse for requests and collector of a modest, $0.15 per-page/per copy fee.
