Objective: To determine the neurocognitive profile for youth with long COVID presenting with cognitive concerns. Method: This study is a case series of 54 pediatric patients (65% female, Mage = 13.48, SDage = 3.10, 5-19) with long COVID who were referred for neuropsychological testing from a post-COVID-19 multidisciplinary clinic. The outcomes of interest were neuropsychological test scores and parent ratings of mood, attention, and executive functioning. The percentage of patients with neuropsychological test scores below the 9th percentile (below average range) and those with at-risk or clinically significant scores (T-scores > 59) on parent-informant inventories were computed. Results: A portion of children with long COVID showed weaknesses in sustained attention (29%) and divided attention (35%). This portion of patients did not significantly differ when comparing patients with and without pre-existing attention and mood concerns. A high percentage of parents reported at-risk to clinically significant concerns for cognitive regulation (53%), depression (95%), anxiety (85%), and inattention (66%) on standardized questionnaires. Conclusions: The present case series showed that approximately a third of children with long COVID demonstrate objective weaknesses on sustained and divided attention tasks but were largely intact in other domains of neuropsychological functioning. Importantly, children with long COVID had similar difficulties in attention, regardless of pre-existing attention or mood concerns. Parents reported high rates of mood, anxiety, and executive functioning difficulties which likely impact daily functioning. Attention and emotional regulation should be closely monitored and treated as necessary in pediatric patients with long COVID to aid functional recovery.

Objective: Situated in Children's National Hospital (CNH)'s Neuropsychology Division, the Gender and Autism Program (GAP) is the first clinical service dedicated to the needs of autistic gender-diverse/transgender youth. This study describes GAP clinical assessment profiles and presents a multi-perspective programmatic review of GAP evaluation services. Method: Seventy-five consecutive gender- and neuropsychologically-informed GAP evaluations were analyzed, including demographics, gender and autism characterization, and primary domains evaluated. Three program-based Delphi studies were conducted and identify: clinician priorities and challenges in providing care, program administrator lessons learned and ongoing barriers, and considerations adapting this model for a rural academic medical center. Results: Nearly two-thirds of referrals were transfeminine. Most youth had existing autism diagnoses; of those undiagnosed, three-quarters were found to be autistic. Five goals of evaluations were identified: Mental health was always assessed, and most evaluations also assessed gender-related needs in the context of autism neurodiversity. Neuropsychological characterization of strengths and challenges informed personalized accommodations to support youth gender-related self-advocacy. Clinicians emphasized frequent youth safety concerns. Administrators emphasized the need for specialized training for working with families. Components for adaptation of the GAP in a rural academic medical center were identified. Conclusions: Since its founding, the GAP has proven a sustainable neuropsychology-based service with consistent referral flow and insurance authorizations. Capturing staff perspectives through rigorous Delphi methods, and addressing the GAP's feasibility and replicability, this study provides a road map for replicating this service. We also highlight GAP training of specialist clinicians, fundamental to addressing the desperate shortage of providers in this field.
目标：性别与自闭症项目（GAP）位于国立儿童医院（CNH）的神经心理学部，是首个专门针对自闭症性别多元化/变性青少年需求的临床服务机构。本研究描述了 GAP 的临床评估概况，并对 GAP 评估服务进行了多视角的项目回顾。方法：对 75 项连续的性别和神经心理学 GAP 评估进行了分析，包括人口统计学、性别和自闭症特征以及主要评估领域。进行了三项基于项目的德尔菲研究，并确定了：临床医生在提供护理时的优先事项和挑战、项目管理人员的经验教训和持续存在的障碍，以及将此模式应用于农村学术医疗中心的注意事项。研究结果近三分之二的转诊患者为女性。大多数青少年已有自闭症诊断；在未确诊的青少年中，四分之三被发现患有自闭症。确定了五项评估目标：心理健康始终是评估的重点，大多数评估还结合自闭症神经多样性评估与性别相关的需求。对优势和挑战的神经心理学描述为支持青少年与性别相关的自我主张提供了个性化的便利。临床医生强调了经常出现的青少年安全问题。管理者强调了与家庭合作的专业培训需求。此外，还确定了在农村学术医疗中心调整 GAP 的要素。结论：自成立以来，GAP 已证明是一项以神经心理学为基础的可持续服务，具有稳定的转诊流程和保险授权。本研究通过严格的德尔菲方法收集了员工的观点，并探讨了 GAP 的可行性和可复制性，为复制这项服务提供了路线图。我们还强调了对专科临床医生的 GAP 培训，这是解决该领域医疗服务提供者严重短缺问题的基础。

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disability characterized by challenges with social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. Recent CDC estimates of US prevalence for ASD suggests that 23 out of 1,000 8-yearold children (i.e. one in 44) meet criterion for ASD, an increase from prior estimates (Maenner, et al., 2021). While some have raised concerns regarding the methodology of this research (e.g. due to varying metrics for identifying ASD cases, high cross-site variation, regional differences, and systemic disparities in educational supports and health care) (Mandell & Lecavalier, 2014; Yuan et al., 2021), it is stil clear that ASD is a fairly common disorder with clinically significant challenges persisting into adulthood. Given the high prevalence, ASD characteristics should be considered in neuropsychological differential diagnostic conceptualization across settings and patient populations. This special issue brings together original research, literature reviews, and clinical guidance to enhance neuropsychological practice in the assessment of ASD while emphasizing holistic diagnostic considerations and person-centered care. We begin with a survey of neuropsychologists’ first-person reflections on ASD assessment practices, the training they received, and where they believe the field should progress. This article sets the stage for the subsequent three sections, which focus on: (1) assessment tools and evaluative approaches; (2) case conceptualization in the context of complex comorbidities; and (3) higher level clinical recommendations and person-centered approaches to recognizing and diagnosing ASD. Section 1, comprised of 5 articles, focuses on assessment measures and approaches. Pulsipher and Lieb (2022) paper opens the discussion through their evaluation of an ASD symptom intake screening measure. Despite aligning this measure with DSM-5 criteria (which most screening measures have yet to do), this approach did not improve diagnostic predictions. As such, their findings continue to support the need for behavioral assessment by trained clinicians. On the other hand, McKernan and Kim’s (2022) paper demonstrates that screeners relating to semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic communication skills at kindergarten entry do predict academic, social, and adaptive skills at kindergarten exit, emphaszing the importance of early social pragmatic/ semantic skills intervention, even in children who historically may not receive them due to their many intact skills. Hudock and Esler (2022) provide a concise summary
自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)是一种复杂的发育障碍，其特征是社交障碍、兴趣限制和重复性行为。美国疾病控制与预防中心最近对美国ASD患病率的估计表明，每1000名8岁儿童中有23名(即每44名儿童中有1名)符合ASD标准，比先前的估计有所增加(Maenner等，2021年)。虽然有些人对这项研究的方法提出了担忧(例如，由于识别ASD病例的不同指标，高跨站点差异，区域差异以及教育支持和医疗保健方面的系统差异)(Mandell & Lecavalier, 2014;Yuan et al.， 2021)，但仍然清楚的是，ASD是一种相当常见的疾病，其临床挑战持续到成年期。鉴于ASD的高患病率，在不同环境和患者群体的神经心理学鉴别诊断概念中应考虑ASD的特征。这期特刊汇集了原始研究、文献综述和临床指导，以加强ASD评估中的神经心理学实践，同时强调整体诊断考虑和以人为本的护理。我们首先调查了神经心理学家对自闭症谱系障碍评估实践的第一人称反思，他们接受的培训，以及他们认为该领域应该在哪些方面取得进展。本文为接下来的三个部分奠定了基础，重点是:(1)评估工具和评估方法;(2)复杂合并症背景下的病例概念化;(3)更高水平的临床建议和以人为本的方法来识别和诊断ASD。第一部分包括5篇文章，重点介绍了评估措施和方法。Pulsipher和Lieb(2022)的论文通过对ASD症状摄入筛查措施的评估展开了讨论。尽管这种方法与DSM-5标准一致(大多数筛查方法尚未做到这一点)，但这种方法并没有提高诊断预测。因此，他们的发现继续支持由训练有素的临床医生进行行为评估的必要性。另一方面，McKernan和Kim(2022)的论文表明，与幼儿园入学时的语义、句法和语用沟通技巧相关的筛选确实预测了幼儿园毕业时的学业、社会和适应技能，强调了早期社会语用/语义技能干预的重要性，即使是在那些由于许多完整的技能而在历史上可能没有得到干预的儿童中也是如此。Hudock和Esler(2022)提供了一个简明的总结

Objective: To provide guidance and resources on how to practice culturally safe and humble neuropsychology with transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals and communities. Methods: We gathered a multidisciplinary team of clinicians with relevant professional and/or lived experience to review pertinent literature, discuss important concepts, and identify key resources. From this process, we outline practical steps to advance gender affirmative neuropsychological practice. Results: Professional awareness and knowledge regarding how to gather context-relevant, gender identity information is critical. TGD individuals form a heterogenous group; a one-size-fits-all approach is not adequate. It is incumbent upon neuropsychologists to engage in clinical and research practices in a manner that does not perpetuate gender minority stress and trauma. Creating an open, safe environment of care requires intentionality and careful thinking to determine what information is relevant for a particular referral question. We provide recommendations and resources for neuropsychologists. Conclusion: When neuropsychologists are proactive, responsible, and intentional, they can better provide individualized, person-centered, and trauma-informed care to TGD individuals.

and H. Stricker, Ph.D., ABPP Biomarkers have changed the landscape of alzheimer’s disease (aD) research and now have direct relevance for who may be eligible for current and forthcoming aD therapeutics. This workshop will review alzheimer’s disease (aD) biomarkers, with a focus on traditional imaging and CsF biomarkers and the projected impact of plasma biomarkers on clinical trials and practice. Mri classification of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (aria) will also be reviewed. The status of disease-modifying therapies for aD will be discussed, including drugs that were approved and those that may be on the verge of being approved. aD biomarkers and emerging aD therapeutics will also impact neuropsychology. We will highlight considerations for normative data, the use of composite scores in the clinic, how we think about the diagnostic accuracy of neuropsychological measures, and how digital cognitive measures are needed to help with increased demand for and equitable access to cognitive screening and monitoring. ABSTRACT This workshop will focus on typical and atypical neurodevelopment in infants and young children, first examined through the results and challenges faced by developmental neuroimaging researchers, and then by an exploration of the myriad socio-contextual factors that impact developmental and pediatric assessment in the united states and globally. our understanding of what is known about early cortical organization and hemispheric specialization will be discussed. The speakers will then focus on current practice and challenges in assessing typical and atypical development in the united states and in low and lower middle-income countries (lMiCs). The workshop will address the impact of socio-demographic and socio-cultural factors in pediatric assessment. We will discuss the need for population-based assessment methods in global health, and common neurodevelopmental insults and their impact on young children living in poverty. preliminary findings from: (1) a longitudinal, multisite study of a new early childhood development measure, pediaTrac; (2) a large cohort of infants and young children who have sustained inflicted traumatic brain injuries; and (3) assessment of neurodevelopment in a large cohort of infants and young children in rural guatemala will be discussed. evaluate examinees with claims of posttraumatic disorder (pTsD) and traumatic brain injury (TBi) arising from a single precipitating (e.g. motor vehicle accident, participation in combat). in the current workshop, clinical neuropsychologist and clinical integrated overview of the various complexities that accompany these “combined” claims. The presenters will provide a review of contemporary diagnostic criteria for pTsD and TBi and highlight certain parallels and differences that exist with regard to the abnormalities in serum studies can be associated with changes in mental status and cognition. some relationships have been clearly demonstrated, such as some el

We will highlight considerations for normative data, the use of composite scores in the clinic, how we think about the diagnostic accuracy of neuropsychological measures, and how digital cognitive measures are needed to help with increased demand for and equitable access to cognitive screening and monitoring. ABSTRACT This workshop will focus on typical and atypical neurodevelopment in infants and young children, first examined through the results and challenges faced by developmental neuroimaging researchers, and then by an exploration of the myriad socio-contextual factors that impact developmental and pediatric assessment in the united states and globally. our understanding of what is known about early cortical organization and hemispheric specialization will be discussed. The speakers will then focus on current practice and challenges in assessing typical and atypical development in the united states and in low and lower middle-income countries (lMiCs). The workshop will address the impact of socio-demographic and socio-cultural factors in pediatric assessment. We will discuss the need for population-based assessment methods in global health, and common neurodevelopmental insults and their impact on young children living in poverty. preliminary findings from: (1) a longitudinal, multisite study of a new early childhood development measure, pediaTrac; (2) a large cohort of infants and young children who have sustained inflicted traumatic brain injuries; and (3) assessment of neurodevelopment in a large cohort of infants and young children in rural guatemala will be discussed. evaluate examinees with claims of posttraumatic disorder (pTsD) and traumatic brain injury (TBi) arising from a single precipitating (e.g. motor vehicle accident, participation in combat). in the current workshop, clinical neuropsychologist and clinical integrated overview of the various complexities that accompany these “combined” claims. The presenters will provide a review of contemporary diagnostic criteria for pTsD and TBi and highlight certain parallels and differences that exist with regard to the abnormalities in serum studies can be associated with changes in mental status and cognition. some relationships have been clearly demonstrated, such as some el","PeriodicalId":197334,"journal":{"name":"The Clinical neuropsychologist","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126514712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
