School Psychologists provide case consultation on educational issues for all children. They function as facilitators for special education evaluations of students who, for various reasons, are not succeeding in the school environment and have a suspected disability. As part of evaluation team, psychologists assess students in areas for which they are exclusively trained: cognitive, adjustment, and adaptive. Psychologist Interns lead the assessment team in drawing conclusions and providing recommendations based on all data engendered from the team evaluation.

This position requires working with children of various ages and a variety of disabilities (preschool to 12th grade). The position requires being an itinerant and traveling to different school sites within the district.

The Federal Way Public Schools hosts a robust internship program for school psychologists that includes participating in assessment, consultation, and intervention activities in alignment with the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) practice model.
