Abstract: | We investigated the types of training options for school psychology students in internship settings accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). Survey results were obtained from APA-accredited programs in school psychology and APA-accredited predoctoral internships that accept school psychology applicants. The results suggested a discrepancy between the number of accredited programs and the number of accredited predoctoral internships available to the prospective school psychology intern. These findings are reviewed in light of recommended internship components obtained from survey information and guidelines approved by the Council of Directors of School Psychology Programs (1983) and the American Psychological Association (1986). Recommendations for development of school psychology rotations within APA-accredited predoctoral internships for doctoral training in psychology are presented.
