Abstract

International students studying in the United States face unique challenges, yet bring significant strengths to school psychology training programs. However, compared to other culturally and linguistically diverse students, discussions about international students have been limited, indicating a gap in multicultural training and support in the field. This article discusses difficulties international students may encounter as well as contributions they can offer to this profession. In addition, the authors outline strategies school psychology training programs can implement to support these students. Recommendations for diversifying training programs and transforming the field into a more multicultural profession are also discussed. It is expected that this article can initiate more discussions among training programs and within the field of school psychology.
