Neuropsychology That Matters: Linking Pediatric Assessment to Everyday Life

AAPdN’s 12th Annual Conference is a three-day event focused on making pediatric neuropsychological assessment more meaningful, practical, and relevant to everyday life. The program highlights how assessment findings can be translated into real-world supports for children, adolescents, and families.

Across the conference, sessions will explore neuropsychological development in the context of complex medical and neurodevelopmental conditions, early-life plasticity and environmental influences, executive functioning in daily life, and systems-informed and therapeutic approaches to assessment. Presentations also address ethical considerations, cultural responsiveness, interdisciplinary collaboration, and emerging factors shaping children’s development, including environmental and climate-related stressors.

Through clinically focused presentations and applied case examples, attendees will gain practical tools to strengthen assessment utility, improve the clarity and impact of recommendations, and support participation, independence, and long-term outcomes across home, school, medical, and community settings.
