"The adoption rate of AI tools in the field of psychology overall is surprisingly fast. The number of psychologists who use AI significantly jumped from a minority 29% in 2024 to a majority, 56%, in 2025 according to surveys conducted by the American Psychological Association. This provides a clear trend of the increasing use of AI by psychologists in general."
"Similarly, the use of AI is trending in education. AI is actively being used by teachers according to a 2,000-teacher survey conducted in April 2025 by Gallup and The Walton Family Foundation. Overall, a majority (60%) of K-12 teachers polled have used an AI tool professionally. Among the survey respondents, AI tools were used by 55% of elementary school teachers, 67% of middle school teachers, and 66% of high school teachers during the 2024-2025 school year."
"Is the trend similar among school psychologists? Historically, there has been little insight into AI use among school psychologists, until now. In this new study, just under 200 American school psychologists across the U.S. were polled to understand the prevalence of AI use in professional practice, attitudes and perceptions on limits and benefits, as well as any concerns ethically, legally, or professionally that they may hold."
Just under 200 U.S. school psychologists were polled about professional use of AI tools, perceived benefits, limits, and ethical, legal, and professional concerns. Psychologists overall showed rapid AI adoption, jumping from 29% in 2024 to 56% in 2025 according to American Psychological Association surveys. K-12 teachers reported widespread professional AI use, with 60% overall use and breakdowns of 55% elementary, 67% middle, and 66% high school during 2024–2025. The poll of school psychologists documents current prevalence and attitudes toward AI amid increasing workloads, workforce shortages, and growing complexity of student needs.
