Pediatric neuropsychology is a sub-specialty of neuropsychology, focusing on the study of brain behavior relationships within a developmental context, typically in individuals under the age of 18. Pediatric neuropsychologists working in a clinical setting typically see children with a medical condition and/or a developmental delay to elucidate how these conditions may affect cognition and other aspects of the child’s functioning. This 3-hour virtual workshop is designed to provide an overview of childhood conditions and behaviors that impact learning and school performance from the perspective of pediatric neuropsychologists. In particular, the speakers will focus on common medical and neurological conditions impacting children and adolescents, the role of substance use on cognition and psychiatric functioning, and cognitive rehabilitation applications within a school setting.
Learning Objectives
As a result of attending this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Describe how pediatric neuropsychological evaluations can help to inform individualized treatments and school-based interventions for children and adolescents with medical and neurological conditions.
2. Discuss ways in which substance use impacts cognitive functioning and mental health in adolescents.
3. Explain how cognitive rehabilitation can be effectively implemented in educational settings.
Target Audience: School psychologists and school counselors are the primary audience, although other health care professionals (e.g., clinical psychologists, social workers, pediatricians, nurses) who provide care to children and adolescents would also benefit from attending this workshop.
