Live Webinar
Wednesday, June 18, 2025 - 12:00pm - 1:00pm
New York State Association of Neuropsychology (NYSAN) presents a live webinar with Suzzette M. Chopin, PhD, MBA, ABPP (RP)
Summary
Individuals with traumatic and acquired brain injuries often work with multiple providers across disciplines in their rehabilitation process. While several disciplines incorporate some degree of cognitive assessment into their practice, neuropsychologists are uniquely positioned to integrate findings from objective assessment, clinical interview, and multiple data sources to inform diagnosis and treatment planning as well as interdisciplinary collaboration. This presentation will incorporate case studies to highlight how neuropsychologists can tailor their assessment and feedback to benefit patients, families, and treatment teams throughout the rehabilitation process.
