Curious if TASP sessions will meet the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists' (TSBEP) requirements for Professional Development? Please read the information below. 

This information was accessed from the TSBEP website regarding license renewals. You may also click on the words "Ethics Course Guidelines" for a direct link to guidelines that will help you decide if a session will meet the requirements. 

"Pursuant to Board rule 461.11, licensees are required to complete a minimum of 20 hours of professional development during each year they hold a license.  The hours must be directly related to the practice of psychology.  Of these 20 hours, a minimum of 3 hours must be in the area(s) of ethics, Board Rules of Conduct, or professional responsibility.  The Board’s policy on ethics hours may be accessed by clicking on the following link: Ethics Course Guidelines.  Also, out of the 20 required hours, another 3 hours must be in the area of cultural diversity.  Areas of cultural diversity include, but are not limited to, age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, language, national origin, race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, and social economic status.  Lastly, at least half of the required 20 hours must be obtained from or endorsed by a provider listed in Board rule 461.11(c)(3).  Please note, pursuant to Board rule 461.11(b), the Board does not pre-approve professional development hours."
