Abstract

Several years ago the Division 16 Executive Council (EC) was invited by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) to support a position paper entitled "Advocacy for Appropriate Educational Services for All Children," which had been adopted by NASP and the National Coalition of Advocates for Students (NCAS). The discussion of the position paper by the EC revealed several different points of view, and EC action on it was tabled. The issues raised by the position paper, as well as the actions taken toward implementing its recommendations, have become part of a national debate about how best to serve students. Because of the continuing relevance of the position paper with respect to the delivery of psychological services in the schools, I was encouraged to undertake the development of a mini-series around it for Professional School Psychology, now School Psychology Quarterly. The objective of this mini-series is to assist readers in framing the issues raised by the position paper in relation to the ongoing dialogue about service delivery systems.
