Giving patients feedback regarding their neuropsychological assessment results can be a challenge to trainees and professionals alike. The goal of this webinar is to discuss various methods of giving feedback, how to provide information in a way that is useful and relevant to the patient and their care team, and to highlight examples of particularly challenging feedback scenarios.

After the webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Describe ways to present information in a way that is clear to understand and relevant to the patient and care team.

2. Develop strategies to increase relevance of patient findings to their daily life.

3. Manage challenging situations in feedback (e.g. giving a difficult diagnosis, managing family dynamics)
