The practice of School Psychology, in the most elementary sense of the role has been ongoing in this province since the early 1970s. In Newfoundland and Labrador, perhaps as a result of our strong ties to the United Kingdom, the title Educational Psychologist continues to be used as opposed to the more common North American title School Psychologist. Because Newfoundland and Labrador did not have a submission in the 1990 special issue journal, we will attempt to describe the evolution of Educational Psychology in this province during the past thirty years.
