The following Position Papers by the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN) capture the consensus opinion for various important issues that affect our profession. The topics for these papers were initially suggested by the NAN Board of Directors, members of the NAN Policy and Planning Committee, or individual Academy members. The Policy and Planning Committee facilitated the process of writing, editing, and facilitating outside peer reviews. The NAN Board of Directors approved the final paper. Note that most of the Position Papers were first published in the Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology. For further publications by NAN, check the link for ‘Education Papers’.
