Description

Neuropsychological feedback is increasingly recognized as an essential component of the assessment process and a means to therapeutically communicate diagnostic information. Yet, there is still very little published about how to explicitly provide feedback in a way that optimizes patient outcome. This conference will review literature describing how to best provide feedback with some of our more challenging patient populations. It will then introduce 2 new models designed to minimize defensiveness while simultaneously enhancing diagnostic clarity: Feedback through Interactive Neuropsychological Dialogue (FIND) and the Diagnostic Feedback Interview (DFI). These models were designed within my pediatric practice and will initially be presented within that framework but there will be discussion of how to apply them across the lifespan. After presenting the models, we will review examples of how to apply them when ruling in or out Autism Spectrum Disorder.
