Abstract
The role of school psychologists is currently in a state of transition from one of simple "test and place" to one which includes a diverse array of responsibilities and expectations. Johnston and Bernstein (1987) state that school psychologists' expanding roles can also include issues related to curriculum, instruction, law, and personnel in addition to their traditional assessment and student advocate responsibilities. This expanding role of school psychologists within the educational system also includes responding to a variety of social problems which affect children. One social problem which affects many children and can have a negative impact on a child's physical, social, and emotional development is sexual abuse (Browne & Finkelhor, 1986; Cosentino, 1989; Downs, 1993; Finkelhor, 1986, 1987). Johnston & Bernstein (1987) suggest that the implementation of a school-wide sexual abuse prevention program is just one example of how school psychologists' roles are expanding beyond academic issues.
