Abstract
In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, there is a pressing need for neuropsychology to apply tele-communication technologies to deliver services to patients unable to attend in-person appointments. Encouragingly, new evidence is emerging to support development of novel models of neuropsychology service delivery remotely. Using North America and Australia as examples, this webinar will illustrate the many opportunities and challenges of Teleneuropsychology(TeleNP) assessment, including focusing on ethical/legal issues during service provision as well as addressing practical needs for providers attempting service delivery remotely.
