Keynote Address: Leading Today, Redefining Tomorrow

Whether providing direct support to students, consulting with families, collaborating with colleagues, or advocating at the systems level, school psychologists provide critical leadership within school communities. In this keynote session, NASP President Shawna Rader Kelly will highlight the dual impact of our profession: meeting the needs of today’s systems, schools, and students with expertise and compassion while striving for impactful, innovative practices to build a future where every child accesses the supports they need to thrive. Shawna will describe how school psychologists can respond to challenges, find strength through connection, and lead today to ensure that others realize a better, brighter tomorrow.

Breaking Bad Identification: Rebuilding How We Understand Intellectual Disabilities
The identification of Intellectual Developmental Disability (IDD) has undergone a significant shift—moving away from rigid criteria toward more individualized and context-sensitive assessment practices. However, variations in guidance from the AAIDD, DSM-5-TR, ICD-10, IDEA, and state regulations often leave psychologists navigating a complex and sometimes conflicting landscape. While many professional standards now emphasize flexible IQ thresholds and functional, adaptive behavior assessments, outdated or inconsistent policies remain in place across several states. This skills-based workshop provides psychologists with practical tools to navigate these challenges. Participants will learn updated strategies for selecting and interpreting assessment measures, completing responsive evaluations, and writing strength-based and culturally responsive reports. Emphasis will be placed on implementing inclusive practices that support learning, community participation, and postsecondary success for individuals with IDD.

Charting the course: Navigating the clinic to school transition for autistic students
This presentation will provide practical insights on supporting autistic students in school settings, as they navigate the challenging transition into school, and service delivery shifts from clinical setting to schools. With perspectives from both clinical and school-based practice, the session will explore key differences between deficit-focused and strengths-based approaches and contrast the medical model with a preventative, educational framework. Emphasis will be placed on how school psychologists can play a pivotal role in fostering collaborative, supportive transition teams.
