Speaker: Jennifer Manly, PhD
Title: Ethical, Clinical, and Research Considerations for Cultural Neuropsychology
Learning Objectives:
Participants in this workshop will be able to:
1) describe techniques to assess cultural, linguistic, and educational experience during the neuropsychological testing session
2) determine when it is appropriate to use separate neuropsychological test norms for ethnic minorities, and
