The intern is supervised by an approved on-site supervisor and a faculty member from the School Psychology program. The internship occurs at the completion of the program sequence as the culminating experience. The intern, in conjunction with the on-site supervisor and the university faculty supervisor, writes the internship plan outlining the internship experience.
