ASHA's workload analysis model is now being used by other national associations. The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) has posted a Web link to ASHA's policy documents and is considering presentations to school psychologists and an article in its newspaper. The National Association of State Directors of Special Education (NASDE) mailed ASHA's policy documents to all state special education directors, noting their value in appropriate assignment of staff. The National Education Association has a new advocacy guide that draws upon ASHA's workload documents, which is available on the NEA Web site.
