Visibility management (VM) refers to a process by which individuals regulate the degree to which they disclose traits or characteristics that would otherwise be inconspicuous. This article defines VM, discusses the importance of VM for the school psychologist, reviews applications of VM in school settings, provides two case studies, considers ethical/legal issues and makes recommendations for future research. As child advocates, school psychologists are encouraged to consider how VM interfaces with the role of promoting the psychological well being of children.
