Clinical Neuropsychological Assessment
APSY’s Specialization in Neuropsychological Assessment trains psychologists to evaluate cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning across the lifespan, grounded in technical rigor, clinical reasoning, and psychometric expertise. The program covers intelligence, attention, executive functions, memory, language, social cognition, academic performance, personality, and psychological report writing—always integrating testing, interviews, clinical observation, personal history, and context. Featuring in-person classes, case studies, simulations, role-playing, deliberate practice, supervision, and a national and international faculty, this program prepares students to turn complex data into diagnostic hypotheses, clinical recommendations, and actionable referrals for patients, families, schools, and healthcare teams.
