Sometimes you do need a license

That is if you want to call yourself a psychologist in Massachusetts. You can have all the degrees and experience in psychology in the world but in this state you need a license. The Judge Rotenberg Education Center did not follow this practice so they will have to return some of the fees they earned for services given by their psychologists. It may be as much as $800,000, which, based on the Center's revenues, is chickenfeed.

Over the past five years the Center has received more than $2,000,000 from the state for the services of their psychologists. If they were not licensed in Massachusetts, the state would have paid the Center less money for the same services.
