  Abstract: 
  

  This workshop provides a comprehensive overview of the American Board of Pediatric Neuropsychology (ABPdN) boarding process, with a focused examination of the practice sample component. As a cornerstone of board certification, the practice sample demonstrates a candidate’s clinical reasoning, assessment skills, and ethical decision-making processes. Participants will gain insights into the evaluation criteria, common challenges, and exemplary practices that support fair and rigorous review. Designed for current evaluators and prospective examiners, the session will also introduce training protocols and recruitment strategies to expand the pool of qualified reviewers. Through case-based discussion and interactive exercises, attendees will enhance their ability to assess practice samples and contribute to the integrity of the certification process.

  Objectives:
  

  1. Describe the role of the practice sample in the ABPdN Boarding process

  2. Discuss the practice sample guidelines and the new reviewer scoring guidelines

  3. Apply the reviewer guidelines to practice samples

  4. Recognize common challenges and exemplary practices

  5. Demonstrate readiness to serve as an ABPdN examiner

  Speakers: Jack Naglieri, Ph.D. and Tulio Otero, Ph.D.

  2 CEs Available

  Level of Activity: Intermediate

  Abstract:

  In this workshop, Equitable Assessment Practices for Racially, Culturally, and Linguistically Diverse Students are addressed via presenting Planning, Attention- Arousal, Simultaneous and Successive (PASS) theory as measured by the Cognitive Assessment System-Second Edition (CAS2). The focus is on accurate, equitable assessment, and identification of several disabilities (e.g., SLD, ADHD, etc.) and students who are learning English. A review of the current science in test interpretation, case studies of PASS profiles, comparisons to achievement using the Discrepancy Consistency Method, and interventions are provided.

  Objectives:

  1. Describe/discuss PASS theory.
  2. Cite the validity of cognitive tests and interpretation.
  3. Discuss the difference between no test bias and equity.
  4. Explain how a brain-based approach to cognitive assessment is a fairer approach for diverse students.
  5. Identify possible interventions.

• The ever-evolving state of video-based telehealth practice: An overview of ethical and legal practice considerations

  Speaker: Jonathan Perle, PhD, ABPP

  Level of Activity: Intermediate

  Abstract: 

  Despite rapid adoption of video-based telehealth among clinical psychologists, research has long suggested variable preparation among healthcare practitioners both prior to and post COVID-19 (Dopp et al., 2021; Glueckauf et al., 2018; Montoya et al., 2022; Perle et al., 2024; 2023; Sammons et al., 2020). Researchers and guiding organizations have suggested an ongoing need for practitioner training that can begin in graduate school and continue into their licensed career as continuing education activities (Dopp et al., 2021; Frye et al, 2022; Perle, 2021). Unfortunately, telehealth literature and training series fragmentation, as well as a lack of specificity in training programming, continue to be challenges limiting a clinical psychologist’s ability to acquire necessary knowledge of the numerous competencies relevant to a telehealth-based psychological service. The current presentation is designed to provide clinical psychologists with a broad overview of both ethical and legal considerations relevant to the use of videoconferencing in psychological healthcare services.

  Objectives:

  1. Identify the key elements of contemporary psychology-focused videoconferencing research. 
  2. Identify and detail at least three common ethical and/or legal considerations for videoconferencing-based practice. 
  3. Describe considerations with cross-jurisdiction videoconferencing-based practice.
