Through Your ISPA Membership at the 2026 NASP Convention

Attending the 2026 NASP Convention in Chicago?
Illinois attendees can earn ISBE-approved Professional Development (PD) credits for select workshops and documented sessions—exclusively through ISPA membership.

ISPA (Illinois School Psychologists Association) will co-sponsor Paid Workshops and Documented Sessions at the 2026 NASP Convention, making it possible for Illinois professionals to apply PD credits toward license renewal.

  • ✔ Attend the entire session for which PD credit is requested

⚠️ Paid Workshops and Documented Sessions require an additional cost and must be registered for separately from your regular NASP convention registration.

  • Illinois PEL (Professional Educator License)

  • IDFPR licenses, including:

    • Clinical Psychologists

    • Social Workers

    • Professional Counselors
