Speakers Bureau

Speakers Bureau

The Speakers Bureau is a reference list of school psychologists willing to present on topics or provide training sessions to groups. Some members have also been contacted by news media agencies to serve as references on topics of interest.

Listed psychologists are current members of the Illinois School Psychologists Association. Speakers may be available on a variable fee or no fee basis. All negotiations are handled by the requesting organization and the speaker. ISPA is not responsible for speaker content, or quality of presentation. It is recommended that the soliciting organizations request and evaluate all available reference information prior to contracting with a speaker.

The list is organized alphabetically by topic category, then topic, then speaker name. Hometown and email contact information is posted for each participating member.

If you are currently a member of ISPA, and would like to add your name to this list or change your listing information, please e-mail ilispa@sbcglobal.net. Please include your full name, topic(s), email address, and your home address.
