Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Beneficence, or responsible caring, means
				  that the LSSP acts to benefit others. To do this, LSSPs must practice within
				  the boundaries of their competence, use scientific knowledge from psychology
				  and education to help clients and others make informed choices, and accept
				  responsibility for their work.
1. To benefit
				  clients, LSSPs engage only in practices for which they are qualified and
				  competent.
a. LSSPs recognize the strengths
				  and limitations of their training and experience, engaging only in practices
				  for which they are qualified. They enlist the assistance of other professionals
				  in supervisory, consultative, or referral roles as appropriate in providing
				  effective services.
b.
				  Practitioners are obligated to pursue knowledge and understanding of the
				  diverse cultural, linguistic, and experiential backgrounds of students,
				  families, and other clients. When knowledge and understanding of diversity
				  characteristics are essential to ensure competent assessment, intervention, or
				  consultation, LSSPs have or obtain the training or supervision necessary to
				  provide effective services, or they make appropriate referrals.
c. LSSPs refrain from any activity in which
				  their personal problems may interfere with professional effectiveness. They
				  seek assistance when personal problems threaten to compromise their
				  professional effectiveness (also see
				  §4209.A.4 Multiple
				  Relationships and Conflicts of Interest).
d. LSSPs engage in continuing professional
				  development. They remain current regarding developments in research, training,
				  and professional practices that benefit children, families, and schools. They
				  also understand that professional skill development beyond that of the novice
				  practitioner requires well-planned continuing professional development and
				  professional supervision.

				  be committed to the truth and adhere to their professional agreements. They are
				  forthright about their qualifications, competencies, and roles; work in full
				  cooperation with other professional disciplines to meet the needs of students
				  and families; and avoid multiple relationships that diminish their professional
				  effectiveness.
1. Accurate Presentation of
				  Professional Qualifications. LSSPs accurately identify their professional
				  qualifications to others.
a. Competency
				  levels, education, training, experience, and certification and licensing
				  credentials are accurately represented to clients, recipients of services, and
				  others. LSSPs correct any misperceptions of their qualifications. LSSPs do not
				  represent themselves as specialists in a particular domain without verifiable
				  training and supervised experience in the specialty.
b. LSSPs do not use affiliations with
				  persons, associations, or institutions to imply a level of professional
				  competence that exceeds that which has actually been achieved.

				  role in identifying social injustices that affect children and schools and
				  strive to reform systems-level patterns of injustice. They maintain the public
				  trust in LSSPs by respecting law and encouraging ethical conduct. LSSPs advance
				  professional excellence by mentoring less experienced practitioners and
				  contributing to the school psychology knowledge base.
1. Promoting Healthy School, Family, and
				  Community Environments. LSSPs use their expertise in psychology and education
				  to promote school, family, and community environments that are safe and healthy
				  for children.
a. To provide effective
				  services and systems consultation, LSSPs are knowledgeable about the
				  organization, philosophy, goals, objectives, culture, and methodologies of the
				  settings in which they provide services. In addition, LSSPs develop
				  partnerships and networks with community service providers and agencies to
				  provide seamless services to children and families.

				  promote changes in schools and community service systems that will benefit
				  children and other clients. They advocate for school policies and practices
				  that are in the best interests of children and that respect and protect the
				  legal rights of students and parents.
