2025 Conference
Association of School Psychologists of Pennsylvania
Annual Fall Conference 2025: All of Us for ALL of Them
This year’s presidential theme, “All of Us for ALL of Them,” reflects our shared commitment to equity, collaboration, and collective impact. Rooted in our shared mission to foster positive outcomes for the children and adolescents we serve, school psychologists are stronger when we come together! Let’s use this opportunity to connect, grow, and expand our capacity to support all of Pennsylvania’s students, especially those who have been historically marginalized. Together, we move forward united in purpose, compassion, and advocacy.
We hope to see you there!
