Live Webinar
Tuesday, April 14, 2026 - 7:00pm - 8:00pm EST
New York State Association of Neuropsychology (NYSAN) presents a live webinar with Yael Rothman, Ph.D.
Abstract
While providing feedback to parents and caregivers after an evaluation is an expected part of the process, additional feedback directly with the children and adolescents themselves is not always completed. However, empowering children and adolescents by sharing the findings can be possibly an even more critical component of the evaluation process. This talk will review the importance of providing feedback to children and adolescents, give ideas for how to share this information in an effective way, and provide some developmentally appropriate resources.
