The American Board of School Neuropsychology (ABSNP) was established in 1999 to provide a certification process for practitioners specializing in school neuropsychology. School neuropsychology requires the integration of neuropsychological and educational principles to the assessment and intervention processes with infants, children, and adolescents to facilitate learning and behavior within the school and family systems (Miller, 2004). The board is committed to advocating for excellence in the field, fostering collaboration among professionals, and promoting best practices in the assessment and support of children and adolescents’ cognitive and educational needs.

ABSNP serves as a hub for advancing professional standards, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, and supporting the continued growth of school neuropsychology as a vital subspecialty within psychology. By offering the Diplomate in School Neuropsychology credential, ABSNP ensures that certified practitioners meet rigorous requirements, including advanced training, competency assessments, and ongoing professional development.

Since its inception, ABSNP has remained committed to supporting the professional growth of its members and ensuring high standards in the field of school neuropsychology. Its dedication to training and credentialing reflects the growing recognition of the importance of neuropsychology in understanding and supporting student learning and development. This commitment helps ensure that certified school neuropsychologists provide high-quality, evidence-based services tailored to the needs of diverse student populations.
