Abstract

ABSTRACT The Internet's potential impact on school psychology is assessed. Particular attention is given to e-mail, the most common method of communication on the Internet. Discussion focuses on implications for consultation, professional development, parent and teacher training, counseling, and assessment. Although research at present is limited, the Internet seems to hold the most promise for enhancing con sultation, professional development, and parent and teacher training. The relative absence of research and ethical guidelines should preclude widespread use of the Internet in assessment and counseling. Nonetheless, with the appropriate safeguards, online peer support groups might become a viable adjunct to counseling for older students. Guidelines for practice are offered and relevant ethical issues are addressed.
