In 2023 the Society was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission. During registration it was not possible to use the name Nigerian Society for Educational Psychologists (NISEP), because a society with a similar name had reportedly been registered in 2021.
The name was therefore changed to the Association of Child and Learning Psychologists (ACLP). The Association's mission is unchanged: to give professionals in Educational Psychology and allied areas an academic forum to discuss issues relating to the Nigerian child and the teaching-learning process.
